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

- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
Key checks for Canvey Island projects
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
