Glazed fire doors for Bordon buildings
We provide glazed fire doors in Bordon (GU35 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Bordon, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We check glazed doors in Bordon for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Bordon often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Why glazing is a common failure point
Vision panels are useful on corridors, classrooms and wards, but they are also where many fire doors go wrong. Ordinary glass gets swapped in after a breakage, beads are fixed with the wrong pins, glazing seals are missing, or an aperture has been cut on site with no evidence behind it. Each of these can undermine the whole door. Our fire door glazing guide covers the details.
Each installation includes:
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
Which fire door rules apply in Bordon?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bordon are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Bordon block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

What happens on a survey in Bordon?
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.
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.
