Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters

Borrowed lights

Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.

Impact safety

Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.

Ventilation grilles

Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.

Which rules apply to fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Craigavon?

Northern Ireland Which rules apply?

In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.

Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.

Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.
