Security double-glazed units in Newtown

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

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 Newtown and nearby

We can arrange security double-glazed units anywhere in Newtown (SY16). Dates depend on installer availability.

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:

Patio doors and bifolds
Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Glazed back and side doors
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 Wales

Wales

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 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.

Security double-glazed units in Newtown: questions

Do you cover Welshpool as well as Newtown?

Yes. As well as Newtown, we can arrange work in nearby Welshpool. 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.

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.

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.
