At Fire Glass UK, we’re proud to support The British Woodworking Federation’s Fire Door Safety Week 2024, running from the 23rd to the 27th of September. This annual campaign is vital in raising awareness of fire door safety and ensuring that buildings are protected through the proper installation, maintenance, and use of fire doors. With fire safety being a paramount concern, we are committed to sharing our insights about how fire-resistant glass—a core element of fire-rated systems—plays a crucial role in enhancing fire protection and saving lives.
Why Fire Door Safety Matters
Fire doors are essential for slowing the spread of fire and smoke, protecting evacuation routes, and giving people more time to escape safely. They are one of the most important features of any building’s fire safety strategy. However, fire doors are only effective when all their components work together—including the fire-resistant glass if there is a vision panel.
Fire-Resistant Glass: A Critical Component
At Fire Glass UK, we specialise in supplying certified fire-rated glass designed and tested to perform under extreme conditions. Our products comply with the strictest regulations, ensuring that fire doors fitted with our glass offer robust protection in line with UK fire safety standards and your doors certification.
Supporting Fire Door Safety Week
Fire Door Safety Week is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the importance of fire doors and the systems that support them. At Fire Glass UK, we encourage everyone—whether you’re a property owner, a facility manager, or an installer—to take this time to ensure that your fire doors are in full working order and meet current safety standards. We offer expert advice on fire-resistant glazing, and our team is always available to answer questions or help you choose the right products for your needs.
What You Can Do
- Check Your Fire Doors: Ensure your fire doors are undamaged, properly fitted, and compliant with fire safety standards.
- Verify Fire-Rated Components: Make sure that any fire-resistant glass in your building is installed within an approved glazing system.
- Educate Your Team: Use Fire Door Safety Week as an opportunity to remind staff, contractors, or residents about the importance of fire door safety.
