Glazed fire doors in Sutton Coldfield

Glazed fire doors in Sutton Coldfield: what's involved

Looking for glazed fire doors in Sutton Coldfield? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sutton Coldfield and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Sutton Coldfield, converted period houses, care homes and HMOs all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Schools, offices and care settings in Sutton Coldfield often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Sutton Coldfield building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Safety glazing and visibility considerations
• Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
• Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
• Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
