Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights: an overview for Lincolnshire
These panels are common in flat entrance doors, communal corridors, schools and older buildings, and they are often found glazed with ordinary glass. We survey them, replace unsuitable glass, correct beads and seals, and supply complete rated frames where the existing frame cannot be upgraded.

- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
What to check before ordering in Lincolnshire
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.

England rules for fire glazing
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 Lincolnshire: questions
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.
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 side panels need safety glass too?
Yes. Glass within 300mm of a door edge and below 1500mm is a critical location for impact safety.
Which parts of Lincolnshire do you cover?
All of it: Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Boston, Grantham and every district in the DN, LN, PE, NG postcode areas.
