Fire Door Vision Panels in Greenford: what's included
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.
- Like-for-like fire glass replacement in vision panels
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
Key checks for Greenford projects
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.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.

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