Our guide range for security secondary glazing is £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. Work in Oban is arranged individually, so travel and glass delivery are confirmed in your written price before anything is booked.
Security secondary glazing is a separate slim window fitted on the room side of an existing window, glazed with laminated glass so it forms a second barrier. It leaves the original window untouched outside, which makes it a common choice for listed buildings, conservation areas and period sash windows.

- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched

Things to decide before you order
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.
Windows needed for escape
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by section 2 (fire) of the Building Standards technical handbooks. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted to it should stop it opening, so locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it usable. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

Security secondary glazing in Oban: questions
Can you work in Oban?
Work in Oban is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
Is secondary glazing safe for escape windows?
It can be, as long as it opens quickly from inside without a key. We design catches and handles for that.
Do I need permission for secondary glazing in a listed building?
It depends on the building and the council. Internal secondary glazing usually has less impact than replacement windows, but listed building consent may still be needed. Ask the conservation officer before ordering.
