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.
What you can specify
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Roller, carriage and hinge adjustment after fitting
- Anti-lift and lock checks on sliding doors

East Sussex mixes the Regency bow-fronted terraces and busy shopping lanes of Brighton and Hove with Victorian seafronts in Eastbourne and Hastings and historic Lewes and Rye.

- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- French doors onto gardens
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
What to think about first
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.
Consents and safety: 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.
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Seaford: questions
Do you cover Eastbourne as well as Seaford?
Yes. As well as Seaford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Eastbourne, Hailsham and Brighton. 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.
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.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
