What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Hyde
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
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.
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: Hyde questions
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.
Does the glass above a fire door need to be fire-rated?
If the wall or door assembly is fire-resisting, yes. Ordinary glass above or beside a fire door creates a weak point.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Hyde?
Building work in Hyde 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 Hyde?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
