Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.

England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

Fire Door Vision Panels: Kendal questions
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.
Is wired glass acceptable in a fire door?
It may provide integrity, but it often fails impact safety requirements. Replacement with modern fire glass is usually recommended.
Do you carry out fire door vision panels in Kendal?
Yes. We survey and install in Kendal and across Cumbria, including the LA9 district and nearby Morecambe.
How quickly can you survey in Kendal?
Survey timing in Kendal depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
