Glazed area limits

Escape route doors
Doors that subdivide corridors and doors that swing both ways normally need vision panels, and integrity-only glass in doors may be limited by building guidance on escape routes.
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
