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.

Before the glass is ordered

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.

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.

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Security double-glazed units in Uppingham: questions

Which areas near Uppingham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Uppingham and in nearby Oakham (6 miles), Corby (7 miles) and Stamford (11 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.

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.

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.
