Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Warwick: what's included

What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Warwick
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.
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.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
