What our fire-rated fanlights and side panels service includes in Bangor

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.

  • Complete replacement frames where needed
  • Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
  • Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
  • Glazed side panels beside fire doors

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.

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.
