What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Hounslow
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.

Key checks for Hounslow projects
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Hounslow?
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
