What you can specify

Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Before the glass is ordered

Keep the design

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

Thumb-turns and keys

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

Glazing rules in England

England

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 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 Thornton-Cleveleys: questions

Do you cover Fleetwood as well as Thornton-Cleveleys?

Yes. As well as Thornton-Cleveleys, we can arrange surveys in nearby Fleetwood, Blackpool and Lytham St Annes. 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.

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.
