We check glazed doors in Pontypool for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Pontypool often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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:
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations

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.
What happens if the glass in a fire door breaks?
It should be re-glazed with the same fire-rated glass and glazing system as the original. A temporary board or standard glass leaves the door non-compliant.
