Security double-glazed units in Tottenham

How much should I budget for security double-glazed units in Tottenham?

Our guide range for security double-glazed units in Tottenham is £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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 goes into security double-glazed units

Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel

Common uses:

Windows in flats on walkways and balconies

Patio doors and bifolds

What to think about first

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.

Overall thickness

The new unit must suit the frame's glazing rebate. If your frames only take thin units, we use thinner laminates or adjust the beads.

Consents and safety: England

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.

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.

Security double-glazed units in Tottenham: questions

Can you survey in Tottenham and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Tottenham, Edmonton and Wood Green are booked around 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.

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.

Do security units reduce noise?

Laminated glass already damps sound better than plain glass, and acoustic interlayers improve it further, which helps on busy roads.
