Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
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.
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.
