Fire Door Glazing in Dumfries & Galloway: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply in Dumfries & Galloway?
No. Dumfries & Galloway is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
