What should security window film cost in Caerphilly?
Guide prices for security window film in Caerphilly are £54 to £132 including VAT (£45 to £110 plus VAT) per m² for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
Security window film is a clear, tough polyester film bonded to the inside face of existing glass with a strong adhesive. When the glass breaks, the film holds the fragments together, which reduces injury from flying glass and slows down anyone trying to get through, without replacing the glass itself.
Glass and fitting options
- Frosted and privacy versions for meeting rooms and bathrooms
- Security films of 200 microns and thicker
- Removable later without harming the glass
- Clear safety films from about 100 microns
- Fitted on site without removing the glass
- Thermal-stress check on sealed units and coated glass

Before the glass is ordered
Is the glass suitable
Some double-glazed units and coated or tinted glass can suffer heat stress with certain films. We check the glass and the unit maker's guidance first.
Film or new glass
Where frames are being replaced or very high resistance is needed, laminated glass usually gives better value over its life than film.
Glazing rules in Wales
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Security window film in Caerphilly: questions
Can you survey in Caerphilly and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Caerphilly, Risca and Pontypridd are booked around installer availability.
Can film be used on listed buildings?
Film is fitted inside and can be removed, so it is often an acceptable way to protect historic glass. Check with the council's conservation officer for listed buildings.
Does security film make glass as strong as laminated glass?
Not usually. Film greatly improves how glass breaks and slows an attack, but it only matches a laminated glass class where that film and glass combination has been tested together.
How long does window film last?
Fitted on the inside, quality films typically last many years. Life depends on sun exposure and cleaning, and we give the manufacturer's expected life with the quote.
