What's involved with fire door vision panels in Stafford
We replace broken, missing and non-compliant vision panels, upgrade old wired glass, and correct beads and seals that have been fitted wrongly. Where a new vision panel is needed, we only cut it in where the door manufacturer or certification scheme allows it.
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
Key checks for Stafford projects
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.
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.
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.

How quickly can you replace a panel?
Once we know the door type and glass size, standard integrity panes can often be supplied quickly; insulating glass may take longer to cut to size.
Does a fire door need a vision panel?
Not always. Building guidance expects vision panels in doors that subdivide corridors and in double-swing doors, and accessibility guidance favours them in many circulation doors.

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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Stafford?
