What to think about first
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
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.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Planning permission
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Bangor: questions
Which areas near Bangor do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bangor and in nearby Newtownards (5 miles), Carrickfergus (7 miles) and Holywood (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
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.
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.
