Security glass for doors in Chalfont St Peter

What is the price of security glass for doors in Chalfont St Peter?

Our guide range for security glass for doors in Chalfont St Peter is £150 to £510 including VAT (£125 to £425 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

Security glass for doors replaces the glazed panel in a front, back or side door with laminated safety glass, usually in a sealed unit with a toughened outer pane. It stops the common trick of breaking the glass to reach in and turn a key or thumb-turn left in the lock.

What you can specify

Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane

Milton Keynes' glass-fronted shopping centre and business districts contrast with Buckinghamshire's older towns, where Aylesbury, Amersham and Marlow keep many period shopfronts.

This glazing suits:

Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
Front doors with glazed side panels
Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass

Questions we will ask at the survey

Side panels too

Side panels within 300 mm of the door are critical locations as well, and a weak side panel is an easy way in. We usually do both together.

Keep the design

Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Security glass for doors in Chalfont St Peter: questions

Do you cover Gerrards Cross as well as Chalfont St Peter?

Yes. As well as Chalfont St Peter, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gerrards Cross, Rickmansworth and Amersham. Dates depend on installer availability.

Will new door glass affect my door's warranty?

If the door is still under its maker's warranty, check their terms first. We will tell you if the door needs the maker's own glass.

Can you replace glass in a composite door?

Often. Some composite doors take a standard unit; others use the maker's own cassette, which we source where possible.

Does door glass have to be safety glass?

Yes. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor, and in side panels within 300 mm of the door edge, counts as a critical location and needs safety glass or protection.
