How we work in Inverness
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Inverness identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Inverness building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Inverness
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
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.
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
Where we work around Inverness
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Inverness, including the IV2, IV1, IV3 districts, and in nearby Elgin, Perth, Aberdeen. Inverness is the main town we cover in Highlands and Islands.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland
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.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Fire-Rated Glazed Doors: Inverness questions
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.
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 you price fire-rated glazed doors in Inverness 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Inverness?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
