Laminated security triple glazing in Pimlico
Laminated security triple glazing for homes in Pimlico: measured on a free survey, made to order and fitted by installation teams working for us across Greater London.
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.
Winter light and glass choice in Pimlico
Winter days in Pimlico are short: about 7 h 50 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 15°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for security glazing 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
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.
- 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 from Pimlico
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.
