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

Yes. As well as Northamptonshire itself we cover nearby towns including Northampton, Corby and Kettering.
