How much do security double-glazed units cost in Leeds?

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
- Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
- Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
- Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required

Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply in 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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Security double-glazed units in Leeds: questions
Do you cover Morley as well as Leeds?
Yes. As well as Leeds, we can arrange surveys in nearby Morley, Pudsey and Batley. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
