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.

- Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel

Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
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.
Building regulations and safety in 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.
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.

Security double-glazed units in Prestwich: questions
Can you survey in Prestwich and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
