What's involved with fire door vision panels in Thornton-Cleveleys
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.
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
What to check before ordering fire door vision panels in Thornton-Cleveleys
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.
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.
