Security Glazing Tape

Security Glazing Tape

Fitting or re-glazing a uPVC window? Double sided security glazing tape bonds the glass unit to the frame, which makes it much harder to remove the glass from outside.

We stock JCP double sided high security glazing tape in 15mm x 2mm (25m), 15mm x 3mm (20m), 15mm x 4mm black DSX (20m), 15mm x 5mm (12m) and 10mm x 1mm (50m).

Choosing Glazing Tape

Width

Choose a width that suits the glazing rebate.

Thickness

Choose the thickness to suit the gap between the glass and the frame, from 1mm to 5mm.

Length

Measure round each glass unit and add a little extra. Check the roll length on the listing.

Externally glazed windows

Security tape is especially useful on windows glazed from the outside.

Security Glazing Tape Guide

Why Use Security Glazing Tape?

On externally glazed windows, the glass is held in by beads on the outside. Taping the glass unit to the frame means it can't simply be lifted out if the beads are removed.

Fitting Glazing Tape

Clean and dry the frame, apply the tape round the rebate, peel the backing and press the glass unit firmly into place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is glazing tape the same as wedge gasket?

No. Tape bonds the glass to the frame. Wedge gasket seals between the glass and the bead.

Can I remove the glass after taping?

It is designed to be hard to remove. Take care to position the glass correctly first.

Browse all gaskets and seals: bubble, flipper, E gasket, wedge, Q-Lon, Aquamac, U-channel, threshold seals and draught excluders.
