Across Kent, from Saint Peters to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door glazing repairs for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Door Glazing: 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.

Fire Door Glazing in Kent: questions
Can I reuse the existing beads?
Only if they are the correct fire-rated type, undamaged and suit the new glass. Often they are replaced as part of the system.
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 Kent?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Kent is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
