Laminated security triple glazing in Pitsea
We arrange surveys and fitting of laminated security triple glazing in Pitsea and the SS13 area, with a written, fixed quote after a free survey.
Laminated panes, multi-point locks and PAS 24 tested frames. 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.
Winter light and glass choice in Pitsea

Rules for security glazing in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. 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.

Questions from Pitsea
Do I have to have security glass?
Not for replacements, but it is worth it on ground-floor and easy-access windows.
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.
