Common questions in Failsworth

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.

Do you cover the area around Failsworth?

Yes. As well as Failsworth itself we cover nearby towns including Droylsden, Ashton-under-Lyne and Chadderton.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Failsworth?

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