Product Description
7" x 22" BAC-VLLPB-WS Low Profile Bronze Vision Lite W/ WireShield Glazing
Finding door windows that look good and meet fire code standards can be challenging. Old-style wired vision lites look industrial and bulky, plus they can easily break when hit, causing potential injuries and replacement costs.
The 7" x 22" BAC-VLLPB-WS Low Profile Bronze Vision Lite with WireShield Glazing solves these problems. With its sleek design protruding just 1/8" from the door surface, this model creates a nearly flush look that complements modern architecture.
It's crafted from durable 20-gauge steel with a bronze finish, offering superior impact resistance than standard wired glass while complying with Canadian fire code standards.
The BAC-VLLPB-WS is designed specifically for standard 1-¾" thick doors and features convenient self-attaching screws. It perfectly balances safety, aesthetics, and ease of installation for Canadian commercial and industrial buildings.
