Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Hertford: what's included
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
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Records for your fire safety file
- Complete replacement frames where needed

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

Yes. Glass within 300mm of a door edge and below 1500mm is a critical location for impact safety.

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

Yes. We survey and install in Hertford and across Hertfordshire, including the SG13 district and nearby Hoddesdon.
Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Hertford from photos?
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.
