Security double-glazed units in Folkestone

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

Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for security double-glazed units in Folkestone, 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.

Fitting in Folkestone and nearby

Folkestone is about 31 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can survey and fit across the CT19 district and in nearby places such as Dover and Ashford.

Kent ranges from Canterbury's listed city centre and the Regency fronts of Tunbridge Wells to the Medway towns, Ashford's growth estates and coastal Margate and Folkestone.

This glazing suits:

Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Patio doors and bifolds
Ground-floor and basement windows
Replacing misted or damaged units

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.

Which pane is laminated

Laminating the inner pane is the usual security choice. Laminating both panes adds protection on high-risk elevations.

Building regulations and safety in England

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 Folkestone: questions

Which areas near Folkestone do you cover?

We can arrange work in Folkestone and in nearby Dover (7 miles), Ashford (13 miles) and Deal (14 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.
