What our fire door vision panels service includes in Highlands and Islands
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.
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
Before you order in Highlands and Islands
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.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
