What to check before ordering in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
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.
