Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Brighton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
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.

Fire Door Vision Panels: Brighton questions
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.
How quickly can you replace a panel?
Once we know the door type and glass size, standard integrity panes can often be supplied quickly; insulating glass may take longer to cut to size.
Do you carry out fire door vision panels in Brighton?
Yes. We survey and install in Brighton and across East Sussex, including the BN2 district and nearby Hove.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Brighton?
Building work in Brighton follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
