Enhancing Accessibility and Functionality with Bespoke Glass Entrance Solutions
Glassedge Ltd was approached by St Andrews United Reformed Church in Cheltenham to upgrade their existing entrance to a more user-friendly and reliable system.
The church’s original entrance consisted of two Type C glass doors with bottom and centre locking mechanisms. These floor-sprung doors experienced heavy daily use, and the locks had become temperamental and difficult to operate.
Complete Entrance Replacement and Modernisation
To improve accessibility and durability, Glassedge removed the entire existing entrance system and installed new side panels and a fanlight panel. The new entrance features a bi-parting sliding door system, bolted directly to the glass using bolt-through fixings and neoprene gaskets to ensure stability and a sleek finish.
Advanced Door and Screen Installation
The installation included two Type A glass doors paired with two pivoted pocket screens on the interior. The doors are activated via radar and threshold sensors, allowing hands-free entry, while exit is controlled through a high-level button or staff fobs for secure access.

Thoughtful Design Details for Safety and Aesthetics
Glass manifestation was reinstated to maintain safety standards, and a green vinyl was applied to the return screen to complement the church’s aesthetic. These finishing touches enhance visibility and blend the new installation seamlessly into the building’s existing architecture.
