What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Weston-super-Mare
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.
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
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.

FAQs for Weston-super-Mare
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.
How quickly can you survey in Weston-super-Mare?
Survey timing in Weston-super-Mare 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Weston-super-Mare?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
