What our fire door vision panels service includes in Redruth
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.
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available

What to check before ordering fire door vision panels in Redruth
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
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.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
