What to check before ordering fire door vision panels in Crewe
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
Plain glass in a fire door
Ordinary float or toughened glass in a fire door vision panel is a serious defect. We replace it with fire-resistant glass compatible with the door.
The commonest fault
Missing or wrong glazing seals and loose beads are among the most frequent defects found in fire door inspections. They are quick to fix properly once the door's specification is known.

Fire Door Vision Panels: Crewe questions
How quickly can you replace a panel?
Once we know the door type and glass size, standard integrity panes can often be supplied quickly; insulating glass may take longer to cut to size.
Can I cut a vision panel into a fire door?
Only under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Otherwise the door's rating may no longer be valid.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Crewe?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire door vision panels in Crewe from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
