What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Southall
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
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.

Does the glass above a fire door need to be fire-rated?

Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.
