How To Toe And Heal A uPVC Door

So you fitted your uPVC door and now it is time to install the glass, this is the process for toe and healing a door. You can also watch this video for the process.

Before installing the glass panes, remove the glazing beads ensuring that you do not mix them up as they need to go back in the same position. Now insert the bridging packers on opposing corners.

First insert the black bridging packer in the bottom corner of the hinge side and then insert the clear bridging packers on the top corners of the handle side.

Now install the glass against the bridging packers, you'll notice that there is a gap between the edge of the glass and the bridging packers. You will need to push glazing packers into these gaps ensuring that the unit remains square and parallel in the aperture until it is firmly held in position.

Once you're happy with the position of the unit and the packers, use silicone to secure the packers in place and prevent them moving. You can now refit the beads ensuring that they go back in the right place.

Starting with the shorter beads first, clip the beads in before using a rubber mallet to tap them into place. Tapping on the edge where the bead meets the frame.
Once the glass is fitted, check the door operation again.
