Glass entrance doors in East Riding of Yorkshire

In workplaces in England, Wales and Scotland, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require glass in doors, walls and partitions to be of safety material or protected where needed for safety, and to be marked or otherwise made apparent so people notice it.

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.

Frameless doors run with small gaps at the edges and under the door, so they do not seal against sound or draughts the way a framed, gasketed door does. Clear seal strips can reduce the gaps, but where privacy or noise matters, an acoustic framed system may suit better.

Toughened glass can very occasionally break on its own because of nickel sulphide inclusions. Heat soak testing to BS EN 14179 reduces that risk by breaking flawed panels in the factory before delivery, though it cannot remove the risk entirely. It is often specified for large doors and screens in busy buildings.

What applies in East Riding of Yorkshire

Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.

For shops and other non-domestic buildings in England, Approved Document M covers accessible entrances, and Approved Document K requires large areas of glass that people could walk into to carry manifestation (visible markings).

East Riding of Yorkshire has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. 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.

Large glass panels for city shops, offices and flats can need a planned delivery, a team to carry them, and sometimes a lift or crane booking. Access through communal areas, loading limits and permitted working hours all affect the fitting day.

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.

Hardware finishes

Frameless Glass in East Riding of Yorkshire: questions

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 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.

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.

How long does it take to get a frameless glass door fitted?

Once the opening is templated, the glass is made to order and toughened, which usually takes a few weeks. Fitting a single door or screen is normally done in a day, while larger entrances or runs of screens take longer. Your written quote sets out the expected programme, and we confirm the date when the glass is ready.
