Fire Door Glazing in Canterbury

From the CT1 district outwards, we cover Canterbury and neighbouring towns such as Whitstable and Herne Bay for fire door glazing repairs.

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 Canterbury.

Questions from Canterbury clients

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 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canterbury?

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

Do you cover the area around Canterbury?

Yes. As well as Canterbury itself we cover nearby towns including Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.
