What to check before ordering fire door vision panels in Weymouth
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.
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
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.

It may provide integrity, but it often fails impact safety requirements. Replacement with modern fire glass is usually recommended.

Yes. We survey and install in Weymouth and across Dorset, including the DT3 district and nearby Poole.
