Fire Door Glazing in Chelmsford

We provide fire door glazing repairs for buildings in Chelmsford and the CM1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Chelmsford.

Common questions in Chelmsford

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 to buildings in Chelmsford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Chelmsford 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.
