- Timber doors with large vision panels
- Fully glazed steel and aluminium doors within screens
Before you order fire-rated glazed doors: what matters
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.
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.

What every Kilmarnock quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Kilmarnock building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Kilmarnock identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Scotland rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Scotland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazed doors in Kilmarnock?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
Building types we cover in Kilmarnock
