In all passage areas and heights below 90cm: tempered or laminated safety glass. Spanish Building Code (CTE). If the original was single pane, it must be upgraded to safety glass. We start with a measurement visit. We precisely measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and verify the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene gasket) so that the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas at risk of impact. Its distinctive feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause serious cuts, instead of large, sharp fragments like conventional glass. The Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all passage areas and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single pane, we obligatorily replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations.

Laminated glass, made of two panes of glass joined by an inner layer of transparent PVB, is the premium option for doors and windows at risk of burglary. When it breaks, the fragments remain adhered to the PVB layer, and the window maintains significant residual resistance. This is what we recommend for accessible ground floors or isolated villas with high risk. Double glazing (Climalit) is the standard for thermal and acoustic insulation in modern construction. Two panes of glass separated by a dehydrated air chamber and sealed around the perimeter. If one pane of the Climalit unit breaks, the entire unit must be replaced because the air chamber becomes contaminated with moisture and loses its insulating function. Replacement is slightly more expensive but technically the only correct solution. The correct protocol when glass breaks involves three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets at home. Second, provisionally cover with a thick plastic sheet or board if the area is accessible from the outside and there is a risk of intrusion. And third, call the glazier as soon as possible for measurement and replacement. The urgency depends on whether the area is watertight or not. A window overlooking an inner courtyard can wait 2-3 days without a problem. A balcony door or exterior window at risk of rainwater ingress or theft requires urgent replacement.

Glass with official manufacturer's warranty (5 years for defects) plus our installation coverage. For detached villas, single-family homes in affected areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglaries, we recommend high-security cylinders such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These increase the security level to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with a manufacturer's anti-theft insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If, despite everything, entry is gained and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. All this investment in a security cylinder loses its meaning if key copies can be freely made at any local hardware store. The registered key of a security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor by presenting the owner's card that we provide upon installation. Without this card, no copy is possible. This means you have exact control over how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the local locksmith or a copy service has kept a pattern of your key for future use.
