What our fire door vision panels service includes in Farnworth
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.
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Photographic records for your fire door log

What to check before ordering fire door vision panels in Farnworth
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.
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.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
