What's involved with fire door vision panels in Cumbernauld
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
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Photographic records for your fire door log
