Patio and bifold door security glass means fitting large sealed units with a laminated pane into sliding, French or bifolding doors. These doors are usually the biggest glass at the back of the house and out of view, so making the glass hold when it is struck closes one of the easiest routes in.
What you can specify
- Anti-lift and lock checks on sliding doors
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes
- Low-E, argon and solar control glass options
- Units sized for sliding, French and bifold doors
Fitting in Malvern and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Malvern and across the WR14 postcode district, as well as in nearby Worcester (7 miles) and Tewkesbury (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Worcestershire includes Worcester's cathedral-city centre, Georgian streets in Bewdley and Pershore, Malvern's Victorian villas, and newer estates around Redditch and Bromsgrove.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
Questions we will ask at the survey
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Building regulations and safety in 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 Malvern: questions
Do you cover Worcester as well as Malvern?
Yes. As well as Malvern, we can arrange surveys in nearby Worcester, Tewkesbury and Droitwich. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
