Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.

Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.

Scotland regulations that shape the job
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.
Stirling building types
Fire-rated fanlights and side panels applies to many building types in Stirling, including industrial units and hotels.
