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 for security glazing in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, replacement windows must meet 1.6 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band C or better. Replacing windows or external doors does not need full plans or a building notice, but the work must still comply; enlarging an opening or other structural change needs building control approval.
Planning: Check with your council planning office before changing the style, material or size of windows or doors, and always for listed buildings, conservation areas and flats.
How it works
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.

Questions from Cookstown
Is laminated glass the same as toughened?
No. Toughened glass shatters into small blunt pieces; laminated glass cracks but stays in one sheet. Both are safety glass; laminated is better for security.
Do I have to have security glass?
Not for replacements, but it is worth it on ground-floor and easy-access windows.
How long does it take to get laminated security triple glazing fitted in Cookstown?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 6 weeks, and replacing the units usually takes a few hours to a day.
Do I need permission for laminated security triple glazing in Cookstown?
In Northern Ireland, check with your council planning office before changing the style, material or size of windows, and always for listed buildings and flats. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
