Glazing in fire door

[Guest Guest]

Hi,

In my work place the door on each level has a FD60 leading to the staircase which has Georgian wire glass panel but no intumescent around the glass. The door has no information & the door inspector has flagged this up but not recommended a way to resolve this. Would a new door set be needed or can we put  fire rated glass & intumescent around?

The inspector should be able to provide you with details of the necessary remedial works and as they have inspected the door you should contact them in the first instance.

However, Georgian Wired polished plate is considered acceptable for vision panels in fire rated doors but there is more than one type. So in terms of installing a suitable glazing system you should seek advice from a fire door / fire rated glazing specialist.
