Security secondary glazing in Omagh

What should security secondary glazing cost in Omagh?

Our guide range for security secondary glazing in Omagh 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.

Choices you can make

Colour-matched frames to suit the room
Low-E glass for better insulation
Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
Suits sash, casement and arched openings
Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames

Fitting in Omagh and nearby

We can arrange security secondary glazing across Omagh, the main centre for County Tyrone, and in nearby towns including Irvinestown, Strabane and Enniskillen.

Tyrone's shopping and business centres are its market towns, Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane, with farmhouses and village properties across a largely rural county.

Good candidates for security secondary glazing:

Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
Offices in historic buildings
Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
Period sash windows with original glass

Before the glass is ordered

Listed building consent

Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.

Escape and ventilation

On windows used for escape, the secondary glazing must open quickly from inside without a key or tool.

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.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Security secondary glazing in Omagh: questions

Which areas near Omagh do you cover?

We can arrange work in Omagh and in nearby Irvinestown (16 miles), Strabane (17 miles) and Enniskillen (22 miles). 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.

Can I still open my sash windows?

Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.

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.
