Fire Door Vision Panels
Replacement and new vision panels fitted to the door's evidence.

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.
Residential blocks in England over 11 metres need regular fire door checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022; glazed doors are included.
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.
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Coverage around Bordon includes the GU35 districts and nearby Farnham, Aldershot, Fleet. Bordon is about 44 km from Southampton, the largest town in our Hampshire coverage.
If an existing frame in a Bordon building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Bordon budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Bordon around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, industrial units and other buildings in Bordon.
Yes. They need fire-resistant glass of the type and thickness tested, fitted with the specified beads and seals.
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.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Bordon and across Hampshire, including the GU35 district and nearby Farnham.
