Fire Door Vision Panels in Lichfield: what's included
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.
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
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.

How we work in Lichfield
Honest about unknowns

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Lichfield budgets are not open-ended.

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
