Getting the right glass for your building
Exit and fire safety
Locking must let people out easily while the building is occupied. We work with your fire risk assessment, and fire doors need fire-rated products.
Tested doorset or upgrade
Where an insurer, landlord or specifier names a standard, a doorset tested to it by its maker is the route. Otherwise a strong commercial doorset with laminated glass is often enough.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Glazing in workplaces
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 contain an equivalent requirement to Great Britain's: windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under Technical Booklet E and, for non-domestic premises, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Security glazed doors and screens in Newtownabbey: questions
Can you survey in Newtownabbey and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Newtownabbey, Holywood and Belfast are booked around installer availability.
Can a security door also be a fire exit?
Yes, with the right hardware. Exit doors must open easily from inside while people are present, so we choose locking and panic hardware to suit your fire arrangements.
Are steel doorsets better than aluminium?
Steel is stronger for high-risk doors; aluminium is lighter and suits most shop and office entrances. The glass, locks and fixings matter as much as the frame material.
What is PAS 24?
PAS 24 is a British test standard for the security of doors and windows. A doorset tested to it has been attacked in a set way in a lab. The test belongs to the manufacturer's product as tested, not to the installer.
