Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
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.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
