Wired Glass Replacement
Replace old Georgian wired glass with modern fire glass.
Learn more →If a building in Carrickfergus needs fire door vision panels, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We replace broken, missing and non-compliant vision panels, upgrade old wired glass, and correct beads and seals that have been fitted wrongly. Where a new vision panel is needed, we only cut it in where the door manufacturer or certification scheme allows it.
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
Old wired glass often provides integrity but not impact safety. Upgrading to modern fire glass with an impact classification removes a common risk in schools and corridors.
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
We cover Carrickfergus and the surrounding postcode districts, including BT38. Nearby towns we also serve include Newtownabbey, Bangor, Belfast. Belfast, around 15 km from Carrickfergus, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Carrickfergus budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Every quote in Carrickfergus identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, public buildings and other building types in Carrickfergus.
Not always. Building guidance expects vision panels in doors that subdivide corridors and in double-swing doors, and accessibility guidance favours them in many circulation doors.
Only under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Otherwise the door's rating may no longer be valid.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Carrickfergus and across County Antrim, including the BT38 district and nearby Newtownabbey.
