Glazed Fire Doors

Functional glazed fire doors to suit every space. Fire doors help prevent the spread of flames and smoke for up to 30 or 60 minutes in the event of a fire. Our extensive range of high-quality glazed fire doors are available in several finish options to match every style. Built with robust fire-resistant materials, our glazed fire doors offer safety while enhancing aesthetic appeal.

What Is a Glazed Fire Door?

Glazed fire doors are specially designed fire-rated doors that include one or more panels of fire-resistant glass. They are designed using materials that help prevent the spread of fire, smoke and toxic gases through a building. Unlike standard doors, fire doors are built from fire-resistant materials, including the door fittings and accessories, to ensure they can withstand high heat for a specific period.

At Door Station, our glazed fire doors are fully tested to meet strict building regulations for commercial buildings and domestic dwellings. Glazed fire doors can be used in many different locations; they are a good option where both fire protection as well as natural light are needed, such as in hallways and stairwells.

How Do Glazed Fire Doors Work?

Our glazed fire doors are constructed with high-quality, fire-resistant materials. The door leaf is constructed from dense timber, composite or mineral based materials, and the glass panel is made from special fire-rated glass which can withstand extreme heat without shattering. Each door is fit with an intumescent seal around the frame that expands when exposed to heat. Glazed fire doors act as a barrier to slow the spread of fire, allowing crucial time for evacuation and emergency services.
