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.

What you can specify

Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required

Fitting in Clydebank and nearby

Typical places for security double-glazed units:

Ground-floor and basement windows
Replacing misted or damaged units
Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Patio doors and bifolds

Things to decide before you order

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.

Which pane is laminated

Laminating the inner pane is the usual security choice. Laminating both panes adds protection on high-risk elevations.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Security double-glazed units in Clydebank: questions

Do you cover Renfrew as well as Clydebank?

Yes. As well as Clydebank, we can arrange surveys in nearby Renfrew, Bearsden and Paisley. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Will a laminated unit be heavier?

A little. A laminated pane weighs about the same as a solid sheet of the same thickness. On large opening sashes we check hinges and friction stays.

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.
