What's involved with fire door vision panels in Wigan
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.
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available

Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters

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.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
