uPVC Patio Doors for Contract and Trade Projects

Choosing the right uPVC patio doors for your development is crucial, impacting everything from thermal efficiency and security to project compliance and overall quality. As a specialist supplier and installer, we understand the specific requirements of construction companies, housebuilders, and developers. Our dedicated team offers comprehensive project management from initial consultation through to expert installation, ensuring your build runs smoothly from start to finish.

Compliance with UK Standards & Regulations

We understand the importance of compliance for contract and trade projects. Our uPVC patio doors fully adhere to key industry standards, including:

Part L – Energy Efficiency

Our patio doors meet the thermal performance requirements outlined by Part L of the Building Regulations, achieving impressive U-values of as low as 1.2 W/m²K with double glazing. If your project requires higher thermal performance, we can offer triple-glazed units achieving U-values as low as 0.8 W/m²K, ensuring your development exceeds current standards.

PAS 24 – Security Standards

All our uPVC patio doors comply with PAS 24 security standards, mandatory for new-build developments. PAS 24 certification means your doors have been rigorously tested against forced entry, providing peace of mind and enhanced security to the end user, including a multipoint locking system, and laminated/toughened glass (6.8mm laminated, 18mm/4mm toughened spec) . We can also achieve Secured by Design certification where required.

Document Q Compliance

Our products fully comply with Document Q of the Building Regulations, ensuring all security requirements for residential developments are met. We support your project through certification processes, helping streamline compliance.

Advanced Thermal Performance and Efficiency

Energy efficiency is vital for modern residential developments. Our uPVC patio doors feature industry-leading thermal insulation, reducing heat loss and helping your development achieve sustainability targets and lower running costs.

Double and Triple Glazing

We supply patio doors with both double and triple-glazed options tailored to your project’s thermal requirements. While our double glazing achieves excellent standard U-values (1.2-1.4 W/m²K), triple glazing further improves insulation, offering values as low as 0.8 W/m²K when required.

Low-E Glass Coatings

All residential patio doors are provided with Low-E coatings as standard, enhancing thermal performance by reflecting heat inward while allowing natural daylight to flood interiors, creating brighter, energy-efficient spaces.

Acoustic Performance Options

For developments in urban areas or near busy transport links, our acoustic glazing options significantly reduce external noise intrusion. Acoustic patio doors utilise advanced technologies, including:

• Laminated acoustic glass with specialised interlayers to absorb sound waves.
• Asymmetric pane thicknesses to disrupt resonance frequencies.
• Increased air gaps between panes for improved acoustic insulation.
• High-performance perimeter seals to prevent sound leakage.

Our acoustic glazing systems can achieve noise reductions of up to 50dB, ensuring quieter, more comfortable living environments tailored precisely to your acoustic consultant’s specifications.

Ventilation – Part F Compliance

Our patio doors can incorporate integrated trickle ventilation systems, meeting the mandatory 8000mm² ventilation requirement per habitable room as per Part F of the Building Regulations. We provide ventilation solutions aesthetically suited to your external finishes while complying fully with regulatory requirements. We can vent through the frame, through an added head packer or through the sash, giving various options to achieve Part F to satisfy building regulations. For properties featuring mechanical ventilation, we can supply patio doors without trickle vents, ensuring maximum flexibility and design integrity.

Enhanced Security Features

Security is paramount for residential construction projects. Our uPVC patio doors offer robust security measures, including:

• Multi-point locking systems for enhanced protection.
• Impact-resistant glazing (toughened or laminated) to withstand forced entry attempts.
• Secured by Design (SBD) certification available for projects requiring police-approved security standards.

We will collaborate closely with your design and construction teams to achieve Secured by Design specifications, helping ensure your development delivers maximum security without compromising aesthetics or performance.

Expert Project Management & Installation

Choosing a trusted supplier is critical to the smooth delivery of your project. Our experienced project management team provides end-to-end support – from site surveys and product specification through to scheduling, logistics, and installation – ensuring your patio doors are delivered on time, within budget, and fitted correctly the first time.

Skilled Installation Teams

Our installers are highly trained professionals, each holding CSCS cards, with senior fitters holding additional qualifications (SSSTS) where required. Our meticulous approach ensures efficient installation, minimal snagging, and reliable performance for years to come, plus Fenea is SSIP Approved.
