Before the glass is ordered
Composite door glass
Some composite doors use a cassette made by the door's maker. We check whether a laminated version is available before quoting.
Thumb-turns and keys
Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.
Glazing rules in Northern Ireland
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under Technical Booklet E and, for non-domestic premises, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.
Safety glass in critical locations
In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.

Security glass for doors in Carrickfergus: questions
Do you cover Holywood as well as Carrickfergus?
Yes. As well as Carrickfergus, we can arrange surveys in nearby Holywood, Newtownabbey and Bangor. 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 keep my stained or leaded glass design?
Usually. We add a laminated pane behind the decorative glass inside the sealed unit, or have a matching unit made.
Is toughened glass enough for a door?
It meets the safety rule but not the security need, because a broken toughened pane falls out. A laminated pane meets both.
