Fire Door Glazing in Preston: 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.

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.
