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?

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.

Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Potters Bar 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.
