What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Coleraine
- 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.
- Floor guides need a sound floor. Where the entrance has stone, tiles or polished concrete, agree whether a channel will be cut or a small surface guide fixed, and who makes good the finish.
- Clear glass is easy to walk into. Plan manifestation at the outset, whether frosted bands or a pattern based on your logo, rather than adding stickers after the door is fitted.
- Showrooms in Coleraine with large displays, or vehicles moving in and out, may want a wide bi-parting frameless door with a hold-open mode for deliveries.
- 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, 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
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Coleraine and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on frameless glass automatic doors separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Coleraine: questions
Can a frameless door in Coleraine 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.
Is there a guide price for frameless glass automatic doors in Coleraine?
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 Coleraine confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can a frameless door in Coleraine be connected to our access control?
Yes. The operator can be linked to card readers, fob readers, keypads, intercoms or a timer, so the door opens freely in working hours and only for authorised people at other times. Tell us what you already have at the survey and the quote will set out the interface work.
Do you fit frameless glass automatic doors in Coleraine?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Coleraine and throughout County Londonderry, with specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carrying out the survey and fitting. We are the contracting party, so one company is responsible for the glass, the operator, the installation and the paperwork at handover.
What should I send before the survey in Coleraine?
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 power supply is needed for frameless glass automatic doors in Coleraine?
Most powered doors need a fused spur close to the operator, and some activation and access control devices also need a low-voltage link. The survey checks what is already there. If a new supply is required, the quote says whether we arrange it or your own electrician does, so nothing is left unclear on the day.
Which accessibility law applies in Coleraine?
In Northern Ireland the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 applies, because the Equality Act 2010 does not extend there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances.
