Security double-glazed units in Eccles

What is the price of security double-glazed units in Eccles?

Guide prices for security double-glazed units in Eccles are £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.

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

Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

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 Eccles: questions

Do you cover Swinton as well as Eccles?

Yes. As well as Eccles, we can arrange surveys in nearby Swinton, Salford and Stretford. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
