What you can specify

Composite door cassettes where available
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
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Before the glass is ordered

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.

Glazing rules in Wales

Wales

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen, under Approved Document B for Wales and, in non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it, so the two cannot simply be swapped.

Safety glass in critical locations

In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.

Security glass for doors in West Glamorgan: questions

Which towns in West Glamorgan do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in West Glamorgan, including Swansea, Neath, Gorseinon and Port Talbot.

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.
