Ashton-in-Makerfield has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Schools, offices and care settings in Ashton-in-Makerfield often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Ashton-in-Makerfield building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.

Safety and visibility

Glass in doors also has to meet safety glazing rules, so the fire-rated glass chosen needs to be suitable for impact as well. For schools and care settings we also consider where the panel sits so that children or wheelchair users can see through it.

What you get:

• Evidence of the glazing system fitted
• Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
• Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
• Safety glazing and visibility considerations
