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.
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.
England regulations that shape the job

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

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.

Yes. We survey and install in Houghton-le-Spring and across Tyne and Wear, including the DH4 district and nearby Chester-le-Street.
How quickly can you survey in Houghton-le-Spring?
