Fire Door Glazing by town in County Down
Fire Door Glazing in County Down: questions
Can I add a vision panel to an existing fire door?
Only if the door's evidence allows a panel of that size and position, and it is fitted with a matched glazing system.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply in County Down?
No. County Down is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.
