Security window film in Clevedon

How much should I budget for security window film in Clevedon?

As a guide, allow £54 to £132 including VAT (£45 to £110 plus VAT) per m² for security window film in Clevedon, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

What goes into security window film

Thermal-stress check on sealed units and coated glass
Frosted and privacy versions for meeting rooms and bathrooms
Clear safety films from about 100 microns
Security films of 200 microns and thicker

Edge-retention anchoring into the frame for blast mitigation

Fitting in Clevedon and nearby

Somerset's glazing runs from the Georgian sashes of Bath, a World Heritage city, to the town-centre shops of Taunton and Yeovil and the seafront at Weston-super-Mare.

Common uses:

Offices wanting flying-glass protection
Large areas of glazing on a tight budget
Listed buildings where original glass must stay
Existing shop windows that are not due for replacement

What to think about first

Daylight application or anchored

A film applied to the visible glass is quickest. Anchoring it to the frame holds the whole pane in place and is the choice for blast mitigation.

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.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Security window film in Clevedon: questions

Can you survey in Clevedon and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Clevedon, Nailsea and Portishead 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.

Can film go on double glazing?

Often, but not always. Some units and coated glass can crack from heat build-up with certain films, so we check the glass type and the unit maker's guidance before fitting.

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.
