How much does security secondary glazing cost in Dyfed?
As a guide, allow £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for security secondary glazing in Dyfed, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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
- Noise and draught reduction
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings

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.
Frame colour and sightlines
Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.
Rules that apply in Wales
Windows needed for escape
Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for homes broadly in line with England's, including minimum clear opening sizes and a maximum sill height. New glass does not change those, but locks, secondary glazing and film must leave an escape window able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.
Planning permission
In Wales the local planning authority decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission. Replacing glass in an existing frame usually does not, because the outside of the building looks much the same. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need consent from the highway authority, normally the council.

Security secondary glazing in Dyfed: questions
Which towns in Dyfed do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Dyfed, including Llanelli, Ammanford, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
