Fitting in Dunoon and nearby
Whether you are in central Dunoon or at the edge of the PA23 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Greenock and Helensburgh are covered too.
Argyll and Bute is mainly coast and islands, centred on Oban, Dunoon, Campbeltown and Helensburgh, with many island homes and businesses reached only by ferry.
This glazing suits:
- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- French doors onto gardens
Questions we will ask at the survey
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Dunoon: questions
Do you cover Greenock as well as Dunoon?
Yes. As well as Dunoon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Greenock, Helensburgh and Largs. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can sliding doors be lifted out?
Older sliding doors without anti-lift blocks can be. We check for this at the survey and can fit blocks at the same visit.
Will laminated glass make my bifolds harder to open?
Units are slightly heavier. We adjust hinges, rollers and carriages after fitting so the doors run smoothly.
Is patio door glass already safety glass?
It should be, because doors are critical locations. Most is toughened, which is safe but not secure. Adding a laminated pane makes it both.
