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.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
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.
