Before you order fire door vision panels: what matters
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

FAQs for Shipley
Can I cut a vision panel into a fire door?
Only under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Otherwise the door's rating may no longer be valid.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Shipley?
Survey timing in Shipley depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Shipley?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
