What every Belfast quote includes

Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Belfast around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Belfast identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Belfast
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
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.
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
