Across Tyne and Wear, from Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Tyne and Wear: questions
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.
Can I reuse the existing beads?
