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.
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.
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
