Laminated security triple glazing in Rawtenstall
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle laminated security triple glazing for homes in Rawtenstall and the rest of Lancashire.
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 Rawtenstall
Winter days in Rawtenstall are short: about 7 h 26 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 13°. 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.

Not for replacements, but it is worth it on ground-floor and easy-access windows.
