What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Barrow-in-Furness
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.
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
Key checks for Barrow-in-Furness projects
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
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.

Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights: Barrow-in-Furness questions
What is a borrowed light?
An internal window that shares daylight between rooms or with a corridor. In a fire-resisting wall it must be fire-rated.
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 Barrow-in-Furness?
Yes. We survey and install in Barrow-in-Furness and across Cumbria, including the LA14 district and nearby Morecambe.
Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Barrow-in-Furness 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.
