What our fire-rated fanlights and side panels service includes in Peterborough
Fanlights, side panels and borrowed lights are the glazed panels above and beside doors, or set into internal walls to share daylight between rooms. Where the wall or door around them is fire-resisting, the glazing must be fire-rated too, or it becomes the weak point.
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Records for your fire safety file
What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Peterborough
Flat entrance doors
In blocks of flats, the glazing around flat entrance doors forms part of the protection of the common parts and needs to match the door's performance.
Upgrade or replace?
If the existing frame can be shown to be suitable, new glass and seals may be enough; otherwise a complete rated frame is the reliable answer.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.

Questions about fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Peterborough
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.

If the wall or door assembly is fire-resisting, yes. Ordinary glass above or beside a fire door creates a weak point.
