The advantages of light
One of the major benefits of using internal fire doors with glass panels is the advantage of light. If you have premises with few windows or darker rooms the addition of natural light is a great asset.
The use of natural light can mean less use of overhead lighting resulting in a saving on power costs. Natural light can also provide a more positive environment for employees and visitors on your premises.
