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.

What you can specify

Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors

Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.

Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Ground-floor and basement windows
Glazed back and side doors
Patio doors and bifolds

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.

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

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

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 double-glazed units in Egham: questions

Do you cover Staines-upon-Thames as well as Egham?

Yes. As well as Egham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford and Windsor. 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.

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.
