Security Glass Installation
Laminated and toughened glass upgrades.
Overview
Standard glass can be broken easily, offering little resistance to intruders. We can upgrade your existing window units to high-security Laminated glass. Laminated glass features a bonded plastic interlayer that holds the glass together even when shattered, acting like a car windscreen. This means a burglar cannot simply smash a hole to climb through or reach a handle. It is an excellent invisible security upgrade for vulnerable ground-floor windows.

Does it look different to normal glass?
No, it is optically clear and looks identical to your other windows.
Can you fit it to my existing frames?
Yes, we can simply remove your old glass units and swap them for new security units.
Is it safety glass?
Yes, laminated glass is a Grade A safety glass, making it ideal for low-level windows and doors.
