How much do security double-glazed units cost in Inverness?
Our guide range for security double-glazed units in Inverness 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.
Choices you can make
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
- 24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
Fitting in Inverness and nearby
We can arrange security double-glazed units across Inverness, the main centre for Highland, and in nearby towns including Dingwall, Nairn and Aviemore.
Highland is vast and thinly populated, with Inverness's city centre and retail parks, towns such as Fort William, Aviemore and Thurso, and remote properties where glass deliveries need planning.
Typical places for security double-glazed units:
- Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
- Ground-floor and basement windows
- Glazed back and side doors
- Replacing misted or damaged units
Things to decide before you order
Which pane is laminated
Laminating the inner pane is the usual security choice. Laminating both panes adds protection on high-risk elevations.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
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.
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.

Security double-glazed units in Inverness: questions
Which areas near Inverness do you cover?
We can arrange work in Inverness and in nearby Dingwall (11 miles), Nairn (15 miles) and Aviemore (25 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
