Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
French doors onto gardens

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Solar control

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

Building regulations and safety 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.

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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Solihull: questions

Which areas near Solihull do you cover?

We can arrange work in Solihull and in nearby Shirley (2 miles), Birmingham (7 miles) and Kenilworth (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can you replace just one pane of a bifold?

Yes. Each leaf takes its own unit, so we can upgrade one leaf or all of them.

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.

Do you work on aluminium bifolds?

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