How much do security double-glazed units cost in Ebbw Vale?
Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for security double-glazed units in Ebbw Vale, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
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
- 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
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
- 24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames

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.
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.
Rules that apply in Wales
Security rules for new homes
Wales introduced its own Approved Document Q for new homes, in force from 1 November 2018, and it applies to newly erected dwellings only. It follows a similar approach to England's, with PAS 24 referenced for easily accessible doors and windows and laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and nearby windows. It does not apply to changing the glass in an existing home.
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.

Security double-glazed units in Ebbw Vale: questions
Can you survey in Ebbw Vale and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Ebbw Vale, Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypool 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.
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.
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.
