Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights
Glazed over-panels, side lights and borrowed lights around fire doors.
Learn more →From the HD6 district outwards, we arrange timber fire-rated screens for buildings across Brighouse, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Bead profile, height and fixing type and spacing are all taken from the test. Short-cutting the fixings is a common reason screens fail inspection.
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Brighouse, including the HD6, HX5, HX3, HX1, BD12 districts, and in nearby Halifax, Cleckheaton, Huddersfield. Brighouse is about 19 km from Leeds, the largest town in our West Yorkshire coverage.
Every quote in Brighouse 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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can survey and quote for industrial units, offices and other building types in Brighouse.
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
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.
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 survey and install in Brighouse and across West Yorkshire, including the HD6 district and nearby Halifax.
