What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Staveley
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
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.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
