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.
Glass and fitting options
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
- Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
Fitting in Hawick and nearby
From the TD9 district we also cover Galashiels (14 miles) and Kelso (18 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.
The Scottish Borders has stone-built mill and market towns such as Galashiels, Hawick, Kelso and Peebles, with conservation areas covering many of their centres.
This glazing suits:
- Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
- Patio doors and bifolds
- Glazed back and side doors
- Ground-floor and basement windows
Questions we will ask at the survey
Internal or external beads
If your beads are on the outside, we add security tape or clips so the unit cannot be lifted out after the beads are removed.
Energy performance
Choosing low-E glass, argon and warm-edge spacers keeps the window as efficient as possible, often better than the unit being replaced.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Security double-glazed units in Hawick: questions
Can you survey in Hawick and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hawick, Galashiels and Kelso are booked around 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.
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.
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.
