What our fire-rated fanlights and side panels service includes in Boston
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.
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
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.

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.

An internal window that shares daylight between rooms or with a corridor. In a fire-resisting wall it must be fire-rated.
