What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Spalding
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.
