Fire Door Vision Panels
Replacement and new vision panels fitted to the door's evidence.
Learn more →From the CR5 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glazed doors for buildings across Coulsdon, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
We cover Coulsdon and the surrounding postcode districts, including CR5, CR8, SM7, CR2. Nearby towns we also serve include Purley, Banstead, Wallington. Coulsdon sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Purley.
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
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.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
If an existing frame in a Coulsdon building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Coulsdon around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Coulsdon budgets are not open-ended.
We can survey and quote for offices, student accommodation and other building types in Coulsdon.
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.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
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.
