Glazed fire doors in Cwmbran, done to the evidence
If you need glazed fire doors in Cwmbran, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Cwmbran has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Schools, offices and care settings in Cwmbran often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. We check glazed doors in Cwmbran 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:
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
The regulations behind fire doors in Cwmbran
Because Cwmbran is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Cwmbran comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you work in Cwmbran?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Cwmbran and the surrounding area, including Pontypool and Risca. 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 Cwmbran 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 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.
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.
