What's involved with fire-rated glazed doors in Bournemouth
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.
- Fully glazed steel and aluminium doors within screens
- Matching side panels and fanlights
- Certificated glazed fire doorsets
- Hold-open devices linked to the alarm where specified
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Bournemouth
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.
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
