Key checks for Barry projects
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
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.

Fire glazing rules in Wales
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
Sectors we cover in Barry
Fire-rated fanlights and side panels applies to many building types in Barry, including industrial units and offices.
Questions about fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Barry
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.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Barry?
Survey timing in Barry 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.
Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Barry from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
