What glazed fire doors in Mid Glamorgan should include
We provide glazed fire doors across Mid Glamorgan, covering 7 towns and 19 postcode districts, including Rhondda, Tonypandy and Bridgend.
We check glazed doors in Mid Glamorgan for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. When a vision panel breaks in a Mid Glamorgan building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
Wherever your building is in Mid Glamorgan, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Mid Glamorgan?
Mid Glamorgan is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda and Tonypandy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
