Key checks for Bideford projects
Plain glass in a fire door
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.
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.
