What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Dundee
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazed doors in Dundee?
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.
Sectors we cover in Dundee
Fire-rated glazed doors applies to many building types in Dundee, including schools and colleges and public buildings.
Fire-Rated Glazed Doors: Dundee 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.
Can a fire door be fully glazed?
Yes, some steel, aluminium and timber doorsets are tested with large or full-height glazing. The glass must be the type and size in the evidence.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Dundee?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire-rated glazed doors in Dundee 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.
