Key checks for Prestwich projects
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.
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.

FAQs for Prestwich
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.
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 work on occupied buildings in Prestwich?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire-rated glazed doors in Prestwich from photos?
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.
