Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Upgrade or replace?
If the existing frame can be shown to be suitable, new glass and seals may be enough; otherwise a complete rated frame is the reliable answer.

In blocks of flats, the glazing around flat entrance doors forms part of the protection of the common parts and needs to match the door's performance.
