What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in County Armagh
- Every edge and fitting on a frameless door is visible. Choose a top rail and clamp finish, such as satin stainless or black, that suits the rest of the ironmongery in the building.
- Showrooms in County Armagh with large displays, or vehicles moving in and out, may want a wide bi-parting frameless door with a hold-open mode for deliveries.
- The header needs a rigid fixing. In modern offices in County Armagh with suspended ceilings, the operator is usually fixed to the slab above with a steel support, which the survey designs in from the start.
- Hotels and restaurants in County Armagh often want the door to stay open on warm days and close in bad weather. A programme switch with hold-open and automatic modes makes that a simple daily choice.
- Laminated glass is worth considering for ground-floor doors. It stays in place if broken, which keeps the building secure until a replacement leaf can be made.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access to buildings is in Technical Booklet R, and building control approval is needed for new entrances.
In Northern Ireland machinery, including a new or converted powered door, carries the CE marking (with UKNI added where a UK body carried out the conformity assessment), and the EU Machinery Regulation applies there from 20 January 2027. Workplace law (the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993) expects powered doors to have suitable and effective features to stop them trapping anyone and, where needed for safety, to open by hand unless they open automatically if the power fails. Doors at work must also be kept in efficient working order under a suitable system of maintenance.
In Northern Ireland, disability access duties come from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, because the Equality Act 2010 does not apply there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances. New entrances and some alterations need building control approval in Northern Ireland, so check with your council’s building control before the work is ordered.
How it works
- Describe what you need. Whether the job is frameless glass automatic doors for a busy entrance or for a single internal door, a brief description and some photos let us understand it and plan a survey visit in County Armagh.
- Free visit to the site. An engineer working under our management assesses the opening, the existing door and frame, the floor and the electrical supply, and notes any access, consent or timing issues to plan around.
- Your fixed quotation. The quote is fixed for the work it describes and lists each item, including any removal, making good and electrical work. It also states the lead time, the payment stages and the warranty terms.
- Fitting and sign-off. Work goes ahead on dates agreed with you. Once fitted, the door is adjusted and its safety functions are tested and recorded with reference to BS EN 16005, and you are shown how to use it.

Frameless glass automatic doors in County Armagh: questions
Can a frameless door in County Armagh match our existing glass partitions?
Usually, yes. We can match glass type and thickness, gap sizes and fitting finishes to the partition, working from the fit-out drawings where you have them. The survey checks the partition head and tolerances, so the new door sits in line with the existing glass and the operator is fixed to something solid above.
What do you charge for frameless glass automatic doors in County Armagh?
Our guide starts from £5,495 excluding VAT (per door set), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in County Armagh confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How long does fitting take in County Armagh?
Most frameless automatic doors take a day on site once the glass has been made, which is typically 4 to 8 weeks from order. Work in occupied offices can be planned for quieter times, early mornings or weekends, and any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown separately in the quote.
What should we do if the frameless door in County Armagh is damaged?
If the glass is chipped or cracked, switch the door off, keep people away from the damaged leaf and contact us. A repair or replacement visit is priced in writing before an engineer attends, and replacement glass is quoted before it is ordered. Laminated glass usually stays in place until it can be replaced.
What is the lead time for frameless glass automatic doors in County Armagh?
Lead times depend on the door type and what has to be made to order. As a guide, operators and accessible door kits are typically two to four weeks from order, and complete sliding entrances typically four to eight weeks from drawing approval. Curved, revolving and hermetic doors usually take longer. The expected lead time is stated in your quote.
What should I send before the survey in County Armagh?
A few photos of the door from inside and outside, rough measurements of the opening, the address and a note of how the entrance is used. If the door already has an operator, a photo of any label on it helps. With that, the engineer arrives prepared, the survey takes less of your time and we can put the quote for frameless glass automatic doors together more easily.
What do the building regulations in Northern Ireland say about powered doors?
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access is in Technical Booklet R, and new entrances need building control approval.
