Comprehensive Glass Repair and Glazing Services in Lincolnshire
There are many issues to consider with glass installation and repair including safety and security. The Critical Glazing diagram here shows where safety glazing must be used as defined under Building Regulations. These regulations apply to single, double and even the new triple glazing options, whether in the home and in a commercial property.
Safety glazing is achieved by using either a toughened or laminated glass. All standard clear and obscure glass can be toughened. This Pilkington process takes around 7/10 day to manufacture. Both clear and obscure laminated glass doesn’t need to be processed and, once cut to size, can be fitted straight away. Laminated glass has traditionally been used in shop glazing, but it's quite acceptable to use in the home as well.
Single & Double Glazing Repair
Is your double glazing showing signs of wear and tear? Don't let a small issue turn into a major problem. Our expert technicians specialise in single & double glazing repair, addressing issues such as condensation (misted units), draughts, and damaged seals. We employ cutting-edge techniques to ensure your double glazing is restored to its optimal condition, providing you with improved insulation and energy efficiency.
Misted Unit Replacement
Misted or foggy windows can not only compromise the appearance of your home but also indicate a problem with the insulation of the double glazed unit. Our skilled team can swiftly replace misted units, restoring clarity to your windows and preventing further damage.

Toughened Safety Glass
We have all seen the aftermath of a damaged bus shelter with little bits of ‘sugar’ everywhere. This is toughened glass in action. Without going all technical, the glass is processed using both a heating and cooling process. This gives the glass its strength making it much stronger on its surface. In a double-glazing application, unless you have been very unlucky, you will have a second piece of glass to maintain security. But in single glazed applications, particularly on doors and low-level windows, laminated glass might be a better option. See below.
This Critical Glazing diagram shows you those areas that safety glazing must be used.
Give us a ring if you have any questions on having toughened or laminated glass installed. All quotes are free.
Got as broken window?
Laminated Glass
Remember in TV shows and films where a car passenger has collided with a car windscreen and left a tell-tale ‘football’ impression in it? That's laminated glass. Although it breaks, it stays together as it’s bonded to a clear membrane, like a sandwich. Although you still end up with damage, the ‘spiders web’ pattern means that your glass should stay in its frame, and intruders stay outside!
Laminated glass is standard glazing in shops and other business premises, but it is quite acceptable in door panels and other glazing applications in residential properties too.
If you occupy older commercial property and you are unsure if the glass you have is the original plate glass or modern day laminated safety glass, we offer a 'Regulation 14' survey to carry out a complete check.
This will tell you which type of glass you have fitted. But don’t worry. Even if we find some of the older glass (as there’s still a lot of it around) you don’t have to have it replaced immediately!
By simply having a clear safety film applied, your non-standard plate glass can be brought up to reasonable safety level and satisfy your obligations under current Health & Safety legislation.
When and if it then gets broken, the replacement glass will be the proper laminated safety glass.
Email us for more details, and to book your Regulation 14 survey. We currently charge £95. If we then undertake any filming or glass replacement work, we'll deduct your survey fee from your invoice.
New for 2022
Birds collide with glass because of reflections of the sky and vegetation on the glass.
Pilkington have launched its AviSafe™ glass, which features a special coating designed to be visible to birds, and to save our feathered friends from collisions.
Pilkington AviSafe™ uses a uniquely patterned UV enhanced coating which disrupts those reflections on the glass, meaning birds see it as a barrier.
AviSafe™ is available now, and is ideal for domestic double glazing. Call and ask for details.
If the pattern you are looking for isn't here, it means it has now been discontinued.
All the patterns shown here are the same price.

Lead Designs for Clear & Patterned Glass
At Acorn Glass and Glazing we can provide you with additional decorative features on your glazing in the form of leaded art work. This can be applied to both replacement double glazing and on new single glass for both doors and windows.
Rather than individual pieces of glass held together in a frame, as in the old days, this lead decoration is stuck onto a single piece of glass. It is called Contemporary Leading.
There are many patterns to choose from as you can see in the image opposite.
You could even add colours if you wanted. For example in the corners, or possibly something more adventurous like a flower or animal.
The choice is yours.
