Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Portadown: what's included
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
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Records for your fire safety file
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
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.
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.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.

Questions about fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Portadown
Does the glass above a fire door need to be fire-rated?
If the wall or door assembly is fire-resisting, yes. Ordinary glass above or beside a fire door creates a weak point.
Do side panels need safety glass too?
Yes. Glass within 300mm of a door edge and below 1500mm is a critical location for impact safety.
Do you carry out fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Portadown?
Yes. We survey and install in Portadown and across County Armagh, including the BT62 district and nearby Craigavon.
Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Portadown from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
