What's involved with fire door vision panels in Swanley
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.

Records

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.
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.
