Choices you can make

Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Composite door cassettes where available
Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door

Flat entrance doors with vision panels
Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply 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.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Security glass for doors in Barrow-in-Furness: questions

Which areas near Barrow-in-Furness do you cover?

We can arrange work in Barrow-in-Furness and in nearby Morecambe (15 miles), Fleetwood (16 miles) and Lancaster (18 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
