Patio and bifold door security glass means fitting large sealed units with a laminated pane into sliding, French or bifolding doors. These doors are usually the biggest glass at the back of the house and out of view, so making the glass hold when it is struck closes one of the easiest routes in.
Choices you can make
- Roller, carriage and hinge adjustment after fitting
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes
- Low-E, argon and solar control glass options
- Integral blind units replaced like for like where possible

Getting the right glass for your building
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.
Door hardware
Glass is only part of the picture. Worn rollers, missing anti-lift blocks or old locks are often worth fixing at the same visit.
What the rules say in Wales
Security rules for new homes
Wales introduced its own Approved Document Q for new homes, in force from 1 November 2018, and it applies to newly erected dwellings only. It follows a similar approach to England's, with PAS 24 referenced for easily accessible doors and windows and laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and nearby windows. It does not apply to changing the glass in an existing home.
Planning permission
In Wales the local planning authority decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission. Replacing glass in an existing frame usually does not, because the outside of the building looks much the same. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need consent from the highway authority, normally the council.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Flint: questions
Which areas near Flint do you cover?
We can arrange work in Flint and in nearby Deeside (5 miles), Mold (5 miles) and Buckley (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
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.
