Glazed fire doors for Shropshire buildings
Whether your building is in Telford, Shrewsbury or a smaller place in Shropshire, we can provide glazed fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
When a vision panel breaks in a Shropshire building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. Schools, offices and care settings in Shropshire often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Shropshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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 Shropshire?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Shropshire 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 Shropshire 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.

Glazed fire doors questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Shropshire?
Yes. We cover all of Shropshire, including Telford and Shrewsbury. 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.
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.
