Glazed fire doors in Lisburn, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Lisburn, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Lisburn range from schools to low-rise blocks of flats and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Schools, offices and care settings in Lisburn often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. We check glazed doors in Lisburn for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
The regulations behind fire doors in Lisburn
Lisburn is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Lisburn are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Is Lisburn within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lisburn in County Antrim and neighbouring towns such as Belfast. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Lisburn?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 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.
