What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Norwich
- Cleaning staff at busy venues in Norwich should use non-abrasive products on frameless doors, keep the floor guide clear of grit and report any chipped glass edge straight away.
- 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.
- 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.
- Street-facing doors in Norwich that take the full force of wind and rain may be better as framed sliding doors. Frameless leaves have small gaps that let draughts and noise through.

Standards and rules in England
Building regulations guidance in England (Approved Document M, Volume 2) says a powered opening system should be used where a self-closing entrance door would need more than 30 N at the leading edge to open, or more than 22.5 N between 30° and 60°, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. New entrances and some alterations count as building work, so check with building control before the work is ordered.
How it works
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for frameless glass automatic doors and book a survey in Norwich.
- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Norwich: questions
What should we do if the frameless door in Norwich 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 do you charge for frameless glass automatic doors in Norwich?
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 Norwich 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 Norwich?
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.
Can a frameless door in Norwich 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 does the written quote for frameless glass automatic doors in Norwich include?
The quote lists each item separately: the door or equipment, installation, electrical connections where we provide them, removal of anything being replaced, testing and handover. It is a fixed price for the work described, so it does not change unless the scope changes, and any change is agreed with you in writing first.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Norwich?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Norwich?
In England the guidance is Approved Document M (Volume 2) for access, Approved Document B for fire safety and escape routes, and Approved Document K for glazing and powered doors. A new entrance can count as building work, so building control should be involved before it is ordered.
