Product Spec Sheet: 
7" x 22" BAC-VLBBWS Bronze Beveled Vision Lite With WireShield Glazing
“Why do practical features have to be unattractive?” Canadian building owners face this question with standard vision lites, often ruining the look of otherwise beautiful doors. These door windows become a visual liability in commercial and industrial settings, where every design detail matters.
The 7" x 22" BAC-VLBBWS Bronze Beveled Vision Lite with WireShield Glazing changes the equation. Its bronze, beveled frame adds architectural character while maintaining UL-listed fire ratings of up to 3 hours when paired with appropriate glazing. This vision lite—constructed from durable 20-gauge cold-rolled steel with welded corners—enhances Canadian buildings rather than compromising them.
