Laminated Glass Replacements

24/7 Emergency Cover
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass made from two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer. If the glass is broken, this interlayer helps hold the fragments together rather than allowing them to separate and fall away in the same way as ordinary glass.
This combination of strength, safety and versatility makes laminated glass suitable for a wide variety of residential and commercial applications, including windows, doors, roof glazing, skylights, balustrades and other specialist installations.
Window Doctor provides professional laminated glass replacements through our nationwide network of local branches. Our experienced glaziers can assess damaged or existing glazing, identify the requirements of the installation and arrange a suitable laminated glass replacement.
Available 24/7 for any emergency, call us today on 0800 043 0095 for a free quote and have your laminated glass replaced by the best!

Common Reasons To Replace or Install Laminated Glass:
Laminated glass can be installed for safety, security or design reasons, as well as replacing an existing laminated pane that has become damaged.
Common reasons for installing or replacing laminated glass include:
- Cracked or shattered laminated glass – although the interlayer can help hold broken glass together, a damaged pane will still normally require replacement.
- Burglary or attempted break-in damage – laminated glass can be used where increased resistance to penetration is desirable.
- Accidental impact damage – impacts from objects, tools, stones and other debris can crack or damage glazing.
- Improved safety – the interlayer helps retain glass fragments if the pane is broken.
- Improved security – laminated constructions can provide greater resistance to penetration than ordinary annealed glass.
- Damaged balustrade or bannister glazing – specialist safety glazing may be required in these applications.
- Skylight and roof glazing replacement – laminated glass is used in suitable overhead glazing applications.
- Existing glass is unsuitable for its location – some areas require safety glazing appropriate to the particular application.
- Marked or deteriorated glass – significant damage or deterioration can affect the appearance of prominent architectural glazing.
- Refurbishment or alterations – laminated glass may be specified as part of changes to an existing property.
The appropriate laminated glass specification depends on where and how the glass will be used. Different applications can require different thicknesses, constructions and performance characteristics, so replacement glass should be selected for the individual installation.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
What is laminated glass?
Laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer. If the glass breaks, the interlayer helps hold the broken fragments together instead of allowing them to separate and fall away.
What is the difference between laminated and toughened glass?
Both are forms of safety glazing, but they behave differently when broken. Laminated glass is designed to remain held together by its interlayer, whereas toughened glass is manufactured to break into many relatively small pieces rather than large sharp shards. The appropriate type depends on the application.
Can cracked laminated glass be repaired?
A crack within the glass itself will generally mean the affected pane needs replacing. Although the laminate can hold the damaged glass together, it doesn't restore the original pane once it has cracked.
Where can laminated glass be used?
Depending on the required specification, laminated glass can be used in windows, doors, balustrades, bannisters, skylights, roof glazing and numerous other residential and commercial applications.
Is laminated glass more secure than ordinary glass?
Laminated glass can provide greater resistance to penetration because the interlayer helps keep the pane together after impact. However, security performance depends on the complete glazing specification and installation, so not every laminated product should be assumed to provide the same level of security.
