Getting the right glass for your building

Door hardware

Glass is only part of the picture. Worn rollers, missing anti-lift blocks or old locks are often worth fixing at the same visit.

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

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

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 Ipswich: questions

Which areas near Ipswich do you cover?

We can arrange work in Ipswich and in nearby Harwich (10 miles), Felixstowe (11 miles) and Stowmarket (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
