Security glass for doors in Gloucestershire

What is the price of security glass for doors in Gloucestershire?

Our guide range for security glass for doors in Gloucestershire 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 inner pane with toughened outer pane
Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Composite door cassettes where available
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Covering Gloucestershire

We can arrange surveys and fitting anywhere in Gloucestershire, including Gloucester and Cheltenham. Dates depend on installer availability. Choose your town below for local details.

Gloucestershire pairs Cheltenham's Regency terraces and shopping promenades with Gloucester's docks and city centre, and Cotswold-stone towns where conservation areas shape window changes.

This glazing suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Thumb-turns and keys

Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.

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.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

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.

Security glass for doors in Gloucestershire: questions

Which towns in Gloucestershire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Mangotsfield and Yate, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

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.
