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: Scotland
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

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