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

England Which rules apply?

Yes. They need fire-resistant glass of the type and thickness tested, fitted with the specified beads and seals.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Ilford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Ilford?
Survey timing in Ilford depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
