What is the price of security secondary glazing in Antrim?
Our guide range for security secondary glazing in Antrim is £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.

- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched

Questions we will ask at the survey
Escape and ventilation
On windows used for escape, the secondary glazing must open quickly from inside without a key or tool.
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
Building regulations and safety in Northern Ireland
Planning permission
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.
Windows needed for escape
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

Security secondary glazing in Antrim: questions
Do you cover Ballymena as well as Antrim?
Yes. As well as Antrim, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
Will secondary glazing cause condensation?
A well-fitted unit usually reduces condensation on the inner pane. Some ventilation of the gap may be needed, which we discuss at the survey.
