- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
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.
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.

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
