Before you order in Isle of Wight
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.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
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.
Regulations for Isle of Wight projects
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Isle of Wight: questions
Do side panels need safety glass too?
Yes. Glass within 300mm of a door edge and below 1500mm is a critical location for impact safety.
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.
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.
Do you cover all of Isle of Wight?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Isle of Wight, including Newport and Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
