Before you order fire-rated glazed doors: what matters
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Ongoing checks
Residential blocks in England over 11 metres need regular fire door checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022; glazed doors are included.
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.
Newmarket coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Newmarket, including the CB8 districts, and in nearby Haverhill, Ely, Cambridge. Ipswich, around 55 km from Newmarket, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
