Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights
Glazed over-panels, side lights and borrowed lights around fire doors.
Learn more →From the BT27 district outwards, we arrange timber fire-rated screens for buildings across Lisburn, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
The rating depends on the timber species and density, frame sections, bead profiles, fixings and the glazing seals used in the test. We build timber screens to a tested specification, or to a formal assessment, and finish them without compromising the intumescent details.
We cover Lisburn and the surrounding postcode districts, including BT27. Nearby towns we also serve include Belfast, Newtownabbey, Newtownards. Belfast, around 11 km from Lisburn, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
Every quote in Lisburn identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Lisburn building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can survey and quote for care homes, retail and leisure units and other building types in Lisburn.
Sometimes. If the frame can be shown to be suitable, we can replace non-rated glass and add the correct seals and beads. Where it cannot, replacement is the honest answer.
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
