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.
Glass and fitting options
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Units sized for sliding, French and bifold doors
- Integral blind units replaced like for like where possible
- Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes
- Anti-lift and lock checks on sliding doors
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
Fitting in Ebbw Vale and nearby
From the NP23 district we also cover Merthyr Tydfil (8 miles) and Pontypool (9 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.
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.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
- French doors onto gardens
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Building regulations and safety in Wales
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.
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 Ebbw Vale: questions
Can you survey in Ebbw Vale and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Ebbw Vale, Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypool are booked around 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.
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.
