Laminated security triple glazing across Berkshire: free survey, written fixed quote, and fitting by installation teams working for us. Towns we cover include Reading, Slough and Sandhurst.
Glass that cracks but stays in place, on the windows that need it. Laminated security triple glazing uses a pane made of two sheets of glass bonded to a plastic interlayer, so it cracks but stays in place when hit.

Rules in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions
Do I have to have security glass?
Not for replacements, but it is worth it on ground-floor and easy-access windows.
Does laminated glass reduce noise?
Yes, somewhat. Acoustic laminated interlayers reduce it further.
What does PAS 24 mean?
PAS 24 is a British test standard for the security of doors and windows against attack. We specify products tested to it.
Do you cover all of Berkshire?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Berkshire.
Do I need permission for laminated security triple glazing in England?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
