What our fire door vision panels service includes in Seaford
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.
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
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.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
