Fire-Rated Glazed Doors: what you get in Dyfed
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
- Hold-open devices linked to the alarm where specified
- Certificated glazed fire doorsets
What to check before ordering in Dyfed
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.
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.
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
Which rules apply in Wales?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.

Fire-Rated Glazed Doors in Dyfed: questions
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.
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.
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.
Do you cover all of Dyfed?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Dyfed, including Llanelli and Ammanford, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
