Fire-Rated Glazed Doors in Cumbria: questions
Do glazed fire doors need special glass?
Yes. They need fire-resistant glass of the type and thickness tested, fitted with the specified beads and seals.
Can you add glass to my existing fire door?
Cutting new apertures into a fire door is only acceptable when done under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Often a new doorset is the safer answer.
