A security double-glazed unit is a sealed unit in which one or both panes are laminated glass, usually the inner pane, so the window keeps its insulation but resists being broken through. It fits the same frame as a standard unit and is the simplest way to add security to modern windows and doors.

Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external

Before the glass is ordered

Internal or external beads

If your beads are on the outside, we add security tape or clips so the unit cannot be lifted out after the beads are removed.

Energy performance

Choosing low-E glass, argon and warm-edge spacers keeps the window as efficient as possible, often better than the unit being replaced.

Glazing rules in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Security double-glazed units in Billingham: questions

Can you survey in Billingham and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough are booked around installer availability.

Can I just replace the glass and keep my frames?

Yes, if the frames are sound. We measure each unit, make security units to the same size and fit them into your existing frames.

Which pane should be laminated?

Usually the inner pane, so smashing the outer pane does not create an opening. On doors and low panes the outer pane is normally toughened to meet safety rules.

How long do new units take?

Units are made to order after the survey. Lead times vary with glass type and size, and we confirm them when we quote.
