Choices you can make

Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Composite door cassettes where available

Things to decide before you order

Keep the design

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

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.

Rules that apply 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.

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 Gloucester: questions

Which areas near Gloucester do you cover?

We can arrange work in Gloucester and in nearby Cheltenham (7 miles), Stroud (8 miles) and Tewkesbury (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
