What our fire door vision panels service includes in Exmouth
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.
- Like-for-like fire glass replacement in vision panels
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Photographic records for your fire door log
