What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Brixton
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.
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.

Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights: Brixton questions
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 Brixton?
Building work in Brixton follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Brixton?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
