Glazed fire doors for Clwyd buildings
Across Clwyd, from Wrexham to Buckley, we survey, supply and fit glazed fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Schools, offices and care settings in Clwyd often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Clwyd building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
Clwyd 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.
Why glazing is a common failure point
Vision panels are useful on corridors, classrooms and wards, but they are also where many fire doors go wrong. Ordinary glass gets swapped in after a breakage, beads are fixed with the wrong pins, glazing seals are missing, or an aperture has been cut on site with no evidence behind it. Each of these can undermine the whole door. Our fire door glazing guide covers the details.
The regulations behind fire doors in Clwyd
Fire door work in Clwyd follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Clwyd, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Common questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Clwyd?
Yes. We cover all of Clwyd, including Wrexham and Buckley. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
