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.
We cover Newtownabbey and the surrounding postcode districts, including BT36, BT37. Nearby towns we also serve include Belfast, Carrickfergus, Bangor. Belfast, around 7 km from Newtownabbey, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
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.
