What our fire-rated fanlights and side panels service includes in Wallington

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.

  • Glazed side panels beside fire doors
  • Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
  • Records for your fire safety file
  • Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors

What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Wallington

Borrowed lights

Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.

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.
