Vision Panels
Vision panels can help to increase visibility, distribute light and enhance design. In certain locations, such as entrances, they are a legal requirement with defined minimum sizes (see below).
Some of our most popular vision panel styles are shown here but we can make panels to any size and shape. For fire and sound-rated doors there may be some restrictions but we will guide you through the requirements to make sure these are maintained.
Vision panels in entrance doors
These are governed by the Government’s Building Regulations parts M (Access to buildings) and K (Protection from falling, collision and impact). This diagram shows the minimum requirements for vision panels in entrance doors.
Beading
There are two main types of beading for vision panels: bolection and flush. Beading is supplied in hardwood species, with a finish to complement the door. For a fire door, intumescents are installed between the glass and the door.

There is a wide range of glass types available. We work with your requirements to deliver the right design without compromising on fire, security or acoustic ratings.

Veneer Cuts
The 2 main types of veneer cuts are Crown Cut and Quarter Cut. Crown is a cross section of the tree giving a lot more character to the wood, as opposed to Quarter Cut which is cut in sections to give a close grain effect.
Matching
Veneers can be matched in different ways to achieve a variety of effects as shown below.
Book match: Veneers are mirrored to give a symmetrical effect.
Quarter: Veneers are mirrored and turned to give an effect radiating from a central point.
Slip: Leaves are laid side by side to give a gradually-varying repeat pattern
Packaging & Delivery
Doorsets can be supplied in any combination to suit project schedules and site requirements. As standard, Dorplan deliver single packaged doorsets, pre-hung in the frame with recessed ironmongery. At the other end of the scale, depending on site requirements, we are to supply flat-packed elements in separate deliveries at different times.
As part of our Quality Checking Procedure, every single doorset is pre-hung, gap checked, and quality checked with photographs of every doorsets before packaging and dispatch. This instils confidence in our customers that we deliver quality products, on time, every time.
