Glazed fire doors in Bangor, done to the evidence
We provide glazed fire doors in Bangor (BT20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Bangor, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Schools, offices and care settings in Bangor often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. We check glazed doors in Bangor 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.
What you get:
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
What the rules say for Bangor
Bangor 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 Bangor are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Do you work in Bangor?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Bangor and the surrounding area, including Newtownards and Carrickfergus. 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 Bangor 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.
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.
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.
