Fitting in Cwmbran and nearby
Cwmbran is about 5 miles from Newport, the main centre for Gwent. We can survey and fit across the NP44 district and in nearby places such as Pontypool and Risca.
Gwent includes Newport's city centre and business parks, the terraced former mining towns of the Ebbw and Afon Lwyd valleys, and Monmouthshire market towns like Abergavenny and Monmouth.
Common uses:
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- French doors onto gardens
- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Cwmbran: questions
Which areas near Cwmbran do you cover?
We can arrange work in Cwmbran and in nearby Pontypool (3 miles), Risca (5 miles) and Newport (5 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.
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.
