County Tyrone: frameless glass screens

Toughened glass cannot be cut, drilled or notched once it has been toughened. Holes for patch fittings, cut-outs for locks and handles, and any shaped corners are all made before toughening, which is why we template the opening first and the glass is made to order rather than cut on site.

A frameless door hangs on one of three main hardware types. Patch fittings clamp to the corners and pivot on a floor spring or top pivot, glass-to-wall hinges suit lighter internal doors, and sliding gear runs the panel along a track fixed above the opening.

Frameless glass doors are usually made from 10mm or 12mm toughened safety glass, with the thickness chosen to suit the door height and its hardware. With no frame, the glass itself carries the hinges, handles and locks, so every fitting is specified together with the glass.

A floor spring sits in a steel box set into the floor below the door, controlling closing speed and hold-open. It needs a recess cut into the screed, so it is far simpler to plan before tiles, stone or timber flooring are laid than to retrofit later.

What applies in County Tyrone

Technical Booklet V covers safety glazing in Northern Ireland, including glass in and around doors and low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

For shops and other non-domestic buildings in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet R covers access, and large glazed areas should be clearly marked.

Parts of County Tyrone are within about 20 km of the coast, where exposure to wind and salt air is worth planning for. External frameless entrances near the sea face salt spray on patch fittings, pivots and floor spring covers, which can mark or pit finishes over time. Hardware suited to exposed sites, and rinsing fittings during routine cleaning, help them stay smooth and presentable.

Older cottages and farmhouses rarely have square openings or level floors, so templating matters even more for frameless glass. Floors may also lack the depth for a floor spring, in which case top-hung sliding gear or wall hinges can suit better.

Choosing your frameless glass

Fixed glass screen

A non-opening panel held in slim channels or clamps, used to divide rooms, line stairs or form a side panel beside a glass door.

Glass-to-wall hinged door

Hinges clamp the glass directly to a wall or fixed glass panel. Suits lighter internal doors where there is no room for a floor spring.

Frameless sliding door

A glass panel running on top-hung sliding gear across the opening, saving floor space where a swinging door would get in the way.

Low-iron glass

Glass with less iron, removing the green tint seen on the edges of standard glass, so thick panels look clearer and colours stay true.

Frameless Glass in County Tyrone: questions

Will a frameless glass door block noise and draughts?

Only partly. Frameless doors run with small gaps at the sides and bottom so the glass can swing freely, which lets some sound and air through. Clear seal strips can narrow the gaps. If you need a quiet meeting room or a draught-free external entrance, a framed or acoustic glazed system will perform better, and we can quote for both.

What happens if a frameless glass door breaks?

Toughened glass breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than large shards, so the door will need to be fully replaced rather than repaired. We can make the opening safe and secure in the meantime, then remake the panel from the original measurements or a fresh template, with holes and cut-outs formed before toughening.

Can a frameless glass door be locked?

Yes. A patch lock at the bottom of the door shoots a bolt into a keep in the floor, and a centre lock can join a pair of doors. A glass door does not offer the same resistance as a solid door, so for external entrances you may also want shutters, an alarm or laminated security glass in adjoining screens.

Can a frameless glass door be fitted into my existing doorway?

Usually, yes. We survey the opening to check the head and walls can take the fixings, and template it so the glass follows any out-of-square edges. A floor spring needs a recess in the floor, so where that is not practical we may suggest a top pivot, wall hinges or sliding gear instead. Some making good of plaster may be needed.
