Solar control

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

Glazing rules in England

England

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Chichester: questions

Which areas near Chichester do you cover?

We can arrange work in Chichester and in nearby Bognor Regis (6 miles), Havant (9 miles) and Littlehampton (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.

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.
