Key checks for Dunbartonshire 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.
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.

Questions from Dunbartonshire clients
Does a fire door need a vision panel?
Not always. Building guidance expects vision panels in doors that subdivide corridors and in double-swing doors, and accessibility guidance favours them in many circulation doors.
Can I cut a vision panel into a fire door?
Only under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Otherwise the door's rating may no longer be valid.
Is wired glass acceptable in a fire door?
It may provide integrity, but it often fails impact safety requirements. Replacement with modern fire glass is usually recommended.
