We have been working with Schools, Colleges and Universities for many decades fitting and installing our glazing products to generic and bespoke building designs and layouts. We automatically give Schools and Colleges account status with our organisation, so our services are available immediately.
Our trusted glazing solutions are installed within educational institutions, schools, colleges and universities across the country and have been adapted to include new Covid Safe Glass Screens to prevent the spread of the virus.
Covid-19: See our School and College space divider page for suitable solutions inside schools, colleges and universities to maximise workspace and safe zones to protect against Covid-19.
School window and door replacement
We recently undertook multiple window and door replacements at a local school, providing them with matching blue RAL colour doors and frames.
The school project involved many bespoke requirements to fit with the existing door and window frame sizes in place. Our specialist team applied many glazing features such as:
- Powder Coated to any RAL colour
- Double Glazed
- DDA compliant, where possible (if required).
- Door frames & sidelights.
- Hold open Pad handles
- Comar 3 & 7
- Non thermal system
- Flush bolts
- Pad handles
- Anti finger trap door stiles,
- Concealed overhead closers
The window frames were of various designs, those in the above picture are:
- Comar 5pi system
- Top hung with opening vents
- Restricted friction hinges
- Espag locks
- Glazed in trickle vents.
Removal of Old School Doors
Before we can install the new windows and doors, we must first remove the existing doors and framework. Our team will carefully assess the existing framework and dismantle it carefully and dispose of the windows, doors, wood and other materials no longer required.
Installation of New School Doors
Now that we have removed the existing framework and doors, we will start the installation of the new doors that were bespoke made to fit the open space.
As seen in the new installation, we have also bespoke built side window panel frames to match the previous design and space used.
School Window Replacement
We have replaced numerous double glazed windows in upgrades in Schools and other Commercial buildings.
Safety
Safety is a very important, nowhere more so than with the installation of windows and doors within schools and public buildings. Safety is everyone's responsibility and at A to Z Glazing, safety is our top priority. A to Z Glazing have the safety of all Glaziers tested by an out source to a compliance level managed under the Construction Skills Certification Scheme.
We have many Policies in place to promote safe working and safety awareness, including the use of generic and non-generic Risk Assessments and Method Statements, please contact us for policy information.
We have had many years' experience within this market and can meet almost any specification, providing safe designs and installations whether it be for vulnerable situations, to meet DDA requirements, or to deal with security issues.
Our school safety glass is of the highest standard
Disability Friendly
To complement our range of door installations we provide ramps together with handrails to improve access to buildings thus meeting DDA Regulations. We also provide a range of steel barriers, Gates & Grills, available painted to any colour or powder coated.
Quality materials
UPVC and Powder Coated Aluminium not only improve the image of the premises, but can also help reduce heat loss and noise, therefore making a better environment for all to work in.

A to Z Glazing can also service and repair all existing doors and windows, ensuring compliance with current safety and fire regulations and if you require, put into place a competitively priced maintenance contract to suit your budget and needs. For more information, please contact us.
Noise Reduction
A key benefit to our Window and Doors is the reduction of noise both from outside the school in, but also from the inside out. The benefits of a noise free classroom allow teachers to communicate easily with students and improve their concentration and reduce distractions from outside of the building.
If your school is in a residential area, you may also want to reduce the noise levels leaving the school, such as in sports halls or music rooms. For bespoke noise reducing solutions, please contact us with your requirements.
