What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Bebington
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
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.

Questions about fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Bebington
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Bebington?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Bebington?
Survey timing in Bebington depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
