What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Farnham
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.
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
How we work in Farnham
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Farnham around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Farnham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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 Farnham
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.

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.
