Fire Door Glazing in Chester

From the CH1 district outwards, we cover Chester and neighbouring towns such as Hawarden and Deeside for fire door glazing repairs.

Fire door glazing is the fire-resisting glass, beads and glazing seals in a glazed fire door or vision panel. The whole glazing system, not just the glass, must match what the door was tested with. We use the same method for buildings in Chester.

Questions from Chester clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Chester?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Chester can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chester?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Chester is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

How can I tell if fire door glass is fire-rated?

Fire-rated glass is usually etched or labelled with the product name and standard in a corner. Wired glass may be fire-rated but not all is. If there is no mark, the inspection records the glass as unverified.

What is the difference between integrity and insulation glass?

Integrity glass stops flames and smoke but allows heat through. Insulating glass also limits heat transfer, which matters where people or materials are close to the door.
