Glass internal doors across Nottinghamshire

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.

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.

Fixed glass screens are held in slim channels or clamps at the floor, walls and ceiling, and the head fixing needs something solid to bite into. Walls and ceilings are rarely perfectly square, so templating records the true shape and the glass is made to follow it, keeping gaps even.

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.

What applies in Nottinghamshire

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).

Nottinghamshire is inland, around 46 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.

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.

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.

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.

Hardware finishes

Patch fittings, handles and hinges in satin or polished stainless steel, black or other finishes to match the room or shopfront.

Pivot door with patches

Corner patch fittings with a floor spring or pivot, the usual choice for shop and office entrances and wide internal doors that need controlled closing.

Frameless Glass in Nottinghamshire: questions

Do frameless glass doors have to be safety glass?

Yes. Glass in doors is a critical location, so in England it must meet the impact requirements in Approved Document K, and frameless doors are made from toughened safety glass to suit. Toughened glass also lets the door carry its own hinges and handles. Other UK nations have equivalent guidance, and we specify the glass to suit where you are.

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.

What affects the cost of frameless glass doors and screens?

The main cost drivers are panel size and thickness, the number of panels, the hardware type, and whether a floor spring needs a recess cutting into an existing floor. Satin or low-iron glass, special hardware finishes and difficult access also add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges, and the written quote fixes the price for your specification.

How do I look after a frameless glass door?

Clean the glass with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner, and wipe metal fittings with a damp cloth rather than harsh chemicals. Do not hang anything from the door or let it slam against a stop. If the door starts closing too hard or drops out of line, the floor spring or pivots can be adjusted before wear sets in.
