What our fire door vision panels service includes in Elgin
A fire door vision panel is the glazed opening in a fire door that lets people see through it. It is part of the door's fire rating: the glass, beads, glazing seals and the size and position of the opening all have to match the door's test or certification evidence.
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles

We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.

A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
Scotland regulations that shape the job
Scotland Which rules apply?

For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
