Glazed Fire Doors
Glazed fire doors let you keep a room bright without giving up fire protection, setting a fire-rated glass panel into a certified fire door so daylight can travel through while the door still holds back flames and smoke. They suit the places building regulations most often call for a fire door, whether a hallway, a kitchen-to-hall opening, or a door onto an integral garage or stairwell, where a solid door would leave the space feeling dark and closed in. This collection sits within the wider glazed doors range as its fire-rated option.
FD30 and FD60 Fire Ratings
Fire doors are rated by how long they resist fire, so an FD30 door holds back fire and smoke for thirty minutes and an FD60 door for sixty. The glazing in a glazed fire door is fire-rated glass rather than ordinary glass, held in place with intumescent seals that expand in heat to keep the panel in its frame. That rating only holds for the door as a whole, so a glazed fire door needs to keep its certified glass, seals and construction intact to perform as intended.
Not After a Glazed Fire Door?
A vision panel is not right for every opening, and some rooms simply do not need the glass. Where that is the case, our wider fire doors range covers solid FD30 and FD60 doors in flush, panelled and period styles, so you can keep the same certified fire protection with a fully solid door. The glazed doors here are for the openings where light matters as much as safety.
Fitting a Fire Door Correctly
A fire door only performs as a complete assembly, which means the frame and hardware matter as much as the door itself. Hang it in a fire-rated frame or lining fitted with the correct intumescent seals, and use CE-marked hinges, handles and closers rated for fire-door use so the door swings shut and seals properly in a fire. Following the manufacturer's fitting instructions is what keeps the door's certification valid once it is installed.
FAQs
A glazed fire door is a certified fire door with a fire-rated glass vision panel set into it. The glass and its intumescent seals are rated to hold back fire and smoke for the same period as the door, so the door lets light through while still meeting fire-safety requirements.
The number is the minutes of fire resistance: an FD30 door resists fire and smoke for thirty minutes and an FD60 door for sixty. FD30 covers most homes, while FD60 is used where longer protection is specified. The glazing and seals are rated to match the door's rating.
No. A fire door must use certified fire-rated glass held with the correct intumescent glazing seals — ordinary glass would fail quickly in a fire and would invalidate the door's rating. This is why the glass in a glazed fire door is supplied as part of the certified door rather than fitted separately.
A fire door only performs as a complete assembly, so it needs a fire-rated frame or lining, intumescent seals, and CE-marked hinges, handles and a self-closing device rated for fire-door use. Fitting it to the manufacturer's instructions is what keeps the certification valid once the door is installed.
