Glazed fire doors: our service in Irvine
When you book glazed fire doors in Irvine, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Irvine protect escape routes in care homes, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check glazed doors in Irvine for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Irvine often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
Fire door law for Irvine properties
In Irvine, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Questions
Do you work in Irvine?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Irvine and the surrounding area, including Kilmarnock and Ayr. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Irvine building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Are wired glass fire doors still acceptable?
Some older doors use wired glass. Whether it is acceptable depends on its fire rating and whether it meets safety glazing rules for that location. We advise case by case.
What happens if the glass in a fire door breaks?
It should be re-glazed with the same fire-rated glass and glazing system as the original. A temporary board or standard glass leaves the door non-compliant.
