Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in West Bromwich: what's included
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
- Records for your fire safety file
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
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.
