What's involved with fire-rated glazed doors in Newtownards
A fire-rated glazed door is a fire door with substantial glass in it, from a large vision panel to a fully glazed leaf, supplied as a tested doorset or to a certificated specification. The glass, beads, seals, frame, hinges, closer and lock all form part of the rating.
- Ironmongery compatible with the door evidence
- Fully glazed steel and aluminium doors within screens
- Certificated glazed fire doorsets
- Hold-open devices linked to the alarm where specified
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.
Doorset, not just a door
The safest route is a complete doorset with frame and hardware tested together. Mixing a leaf from one source with a frame from another needs evidence that covers the combination.
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.

Fire-Rated Glazed Doors: Newtownards questions
Can a fire door be fully glazed?
Yes, some steel, aluminium and timber doorsets are tested with large or full-height glazing. The glass must be the type and size in the evidence.
What does FD30 mean on a glazed door?
FD30 is a UK shorthand for a door providing 30 minutes' fire resistance. Under European classification the same door would be described with an E or EI rating, with S added where smoke control is tested.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Newtownards?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire-rated glazed doors in Newtownards from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
