Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Ossett: 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
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
What every Ossett quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Ossett building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Ossett budgets are not open-ended.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Ossett identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
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.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
