What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Falmouth
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
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.
