Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Haywards Heath: 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.
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Records for your fire safety file
What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Haywards Heath
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
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.
