What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Livingston
These panels are common in flat entrance doors, communal corridors, schools and older buildings, and they are often found glazed with ordinary glass. We survey them, replace unsuitable glass, correct beads and seals, and supply complete rated frames where the existing frame cannot be upgraded.

Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Which rules apply to fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Livingston?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Questions about fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Livingston
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Livingston?
Livingston is in Scotland, so work needs a building warrant and follows the Building Standards Technical Handbooks, with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 covering occupied premises.

Yes. We survey and install in Livingston and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including the EH54 district and nearby Bathgate.
