Integral blinds

Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.

Solar control

South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.

Building regulations and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Replacing glass in an existing frame

In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Perth and Kinross: questions

Which towns in Perth and Kinross do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Perth and Kinross, including Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Pitlochry.

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.

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.
