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

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 Brecon and nearby

Brecon is about 39 miles from Newtown, the main centre for Powys. We can survey and fit across the LD3 district and in nearby places such as Merthyr Tydfil and Ebbw Vale.

Powys is rural, with small market towns such as Brecon, Newtown, Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells, Victorian and stone buildings, and farmhouses and holiday lets some way from main roads.

This glazing suits:

Replacing misted or damaged units
Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Glazed back and side doors
Ground-floor and basement windows

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 Wales

Wales

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

Security double-glazed units in Brecon: questions

Which areas near Brecon do you cover?

We can arrange work in Brecon and in nearby Merthyr Tydfil (14 miles), Ebbw Vale (14 miles) and Aberdare (16 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.

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.

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.
