Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Batley: 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
  • Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
  • Records for your fire safety file
  • Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors

What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Batley

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.

Borrowed lights

Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.

Impact safety

Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.

Which rules apply to fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Batley?

England Which rules apply?

Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Questions about fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Batley

Do side panels need safety glass too?

Yes. Glass within 300mm of a door edge and below 1500mm is a critical location for impact safety.

What is a borrowed light?

An internal window that shares daylight between rooms or with a corridor. In a fire-resisting wall it must be fire-rated.

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.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Batley?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
