Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Clevedon: 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
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Records for your fire safety file
What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Clevedon
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
