Key checks for Wallsend projects

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.

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.
