Security window film in Woking

How much does security window film cost in Woking?

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.

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Security window film in Woking: questions

Can you survey in Woking and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Woking, Guildford and Egham are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
