There may be some limitations in door sizes due to the minimum size that glass can be toughened, please check the size with us first. Please remember when ordering or requesting a quote for a Parkwood BAL Rated door, please tell us what BAL Rating is required so we can ensure that the door leaf complies.

Please take note that this is only for the door LEAF. Doors must be hung in a suitable frame with seals and hardware that will comply with the required BAL. No responsibility will be held by Parkwood if the door frame, hardware, or fitting is not compliant to the standard.
