- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Records for your fire safety file

Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
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.
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.
