Composite door cassettes where available
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels

Fitting in Leominster and nearby

From the HR6 district we also cover Ludlow (10 miles) and Hereford (12 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.

Herefordshire is largely rural, with Hereford's cathedral-city centre, black-and-white timber-framed villages, and market towns such as Leominster and Ledbury with historic centres.

Good candidates for security glass for doors:

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

Before the glass is ordered

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.

Glazing rules in England

England

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 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 Leominster: questions

Can you survey in Leominster and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Leominster, Ludlow and Hereford are booked around 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.

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.
