Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
