Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
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.
Wired glass
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.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
