Before you order fire-rated glazed doors: what matters
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
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.

Scotland regulations that shape the job
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Building types we cover in Edinburgh
We can survey and quote for offices, schools and colleges and other building types in Edinburgh.
Questions about fire-rated glazed doors in Edinburgh
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.
Do you carry out fire-rated glazed doors in Edinburgh?
Yes. We survey and install in Edinburgh and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including the EH1 district and nearby Musselburgh.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Edinburgh?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
