Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Hoddesdon: 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.
- Records for your fire safety file
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
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.

FAQs for Hoddesdon
What is a borrowed light?
An internal window that shares daylight between rooms or with a corridor. In a fire-resisting wall it must be fire-rated.
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.
Do you carry out fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Hoddesdon?
Yes. We survey and install in Hoddesdon and across Hertfordshire, including the EN11 district and nearby Hertford.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Hoddesdon?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
