Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Bexley: what's included
Fanlights, side panels and borrowed lights are the glazed panels above and beside doors, or set into internal walls to share daylight between rooms. Where the wall or door around them is fire-resisting, the glazing must be fire-rated too, or it becomes the weak point.
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Complete replacement frames where needed
What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Bexley
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.
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.
