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.

Roller, carriage and hinge adjustment after fitting
Units sized for sliding, French and bifold doors
Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes
Low-E, argon and solar control glass options

Fitting in Hereford and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Hereford and the HR1 postcode district, and in nearby Ross-on-Wye (11 miles), Leominster (12 miles) and Malvern.

Herefordshire is largely rural, with Hereford's cathedral-city centre, black-and-white timber-framed villages, and market towns such as Leominster and Ledbury with historic centres.

Typical settings for patio and bifold door security glass:

Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
French doors onto gardens
Bifold doors in kitchen extensions

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.

Laminated inner or both panes

A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.

What the rules say in England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Hereford: questions

Do you cover Ross-on-Wye as well as Hereford?

Yes. As well as Hereford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Malvern. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Do you work on aluminium bifolds?

Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
