When a vision panel breaks in a Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. Schools, offices and care settings in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
New glazed doors or re-glazing?
Where a door already has a certified aperture, it can usually be re-glazed with the specified glass and system after damage. Cutting a new vision panel into an existing fire door is a different matter: it is only acceptable if the door's certification covers that aperture size and position. In most cases a new glazed doorset is the right answer.

Questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray?
Yes. We cover all of Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray, including Aberdeen and Elgin. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can you add a vision panel to my existing fire door?
Only if the door's certification allows an aperture of that size and position. Most existing doors cannot be modified this way, so a new glazed doorset is usually needed.
Can any toughened glass go in a fire door?
No. Fire doors need fire-rated glass of the type and size covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the matching beads and seals. Standard toughened glass is not fire resisting.
