Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Shrewsbury: what's included
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.
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Complete replacement frames where needed
What every Shrewsbury quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Shrewsbury building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Shrewsbury budgets are not open-ended.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Shrewsbury
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
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.

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 Shrewsbury?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Shrewsbury?
Building work in Shrewsbury follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
