Glass entrance doors in Leicestershire
If your Leicestershire shop has a step at the door, we raise access early, since a new door is a good moment to improve it.
Owners across the East Midlands often want more daylight at the door, so we size the leaf and side panels to suit your Leicestershire entrance. Cutting a pocket for a floor spring depends on what is under the floor, so we check your Leicestershire premises before quoting.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Leicestershire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.
How do I make a glass door accessible?
Start with clear width, a low threshold and a light opening force. In England, Approved Document M gives a clear width of 775 mm for existing buildings, and a force of 30 N at the door edge for the first 30 degrees. Visible markings and contrasting handles also help.
Do glass doors need a floor spring?
No, but most frameless glass doors use one, because there is no frame to carry a closer. The spring sits hidden in the floor and controls how the door swings and closes. A rail door can use an overhead closer to BS EN 1154 instead.
What thickness of glass is used for a shop door?
Most frameless shop doors use 10 mm or 12 mm toughened glass. The choice depends on door size, the fittings and how the door will be used. Laminated toughened glass can be specified where there is a higher risk of attack or accidental breakage.
