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.

- Low-E, argon and solar control glass options
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Anti-lift and lock checks on sliding doors
- Roller, carriage and hinge adjustment after fitting
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
What the rules say in 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.
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Canary Wharf: questions
Can you survey in Canary Wharf and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Canary Wharf, Bow and Canning Town are booked around installer availability.
Can you replace just one pane of a bifold?
Yes. Each leaf takes its own unit, so we can upgrade one leaf or all of them.
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.
