Fire Door Vision Panels
Replacement and new vision panels fitted to the door's evidence.
Learn more →For York buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated glazed doors wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

We supply and install glazed fire doorsets in timber, steel and aluminium, single and double, as stand-alone doors or within glazed screens. We match the door to the rating and duty of its position, and fit it to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
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.
Coverage around York includes the YO1, YO10, YO31, YO24 districts and nearby Selby, Harrogate, Goole. York is the main town we cover in North Yorkshire.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a York building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
