01

Fixed function in everyday use

The single-panel door sidelight is a fixed glazed element in one frame. It does not open and is explicitly not a door leaf. This functional distinction matters when choosing a product: the adjacent door provides access, while the sidelight is a permanently closed component of the planned combination. It therefore needs no day-to-day operation. When comparing solutions, first decide whether the extra area should be glazed and fixed only, or whether you actually need a moving door element there.

As the sidelight does not open, there is no opening direction to choose for this element. Handle selection is not among the supported purchase choices either. The focus is instead on made-to-measure sizing, colour, frame material, glazing and the preferred design pattern. This keeps planning clear and avoids accidentally applying door features to the sidelight. A right- or left-hinged version, for example, applies to moving door leaves, not this fixed-frame solution.

In visual planning, the door sidelight can be used as a calm glazed surface or as a more strongly divided feature. Its effect depends mainly on the selected pattern, colour and material finish. Undivided glazing looks different from division by bars or a combination of glass and panel. Consider the exact arrangement together with the adjacent door and the whole opening, without assigning an operating function to the fixed sidelight.

02

Timber species, aluminium cladding and frame construction

Pine and oak are available for the frame. Both timber species can also be supplied with aluminium cladding. You can therefore choose a pure timber finish or timber with an additional cladding. Which option suits visually is best assessed together with the door, nearby windows and colours already chosen. Treat pine and oak as distinct material decisions; choose according to the desired timber and the overall design direction of the project.

Without aluminium cladding, the outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-frame dimension is 115 × 57 mm. These dimensions apply specifically to the outer frame of the single-panel door sidelight. Do not equate them with door-leaf dimensions or frame sizes of other window and door products. When coordinating adjacent components, name each product component correctly so dimensions from different constructions are not mixed during planning.

The single-panel glazed door sidelight is CE marked. Installation holes with a diameter of 14 mm are also provided. The glazing seals are black rubber, creating a visible dark detail where glass meets frame. Consider colour, timber species, aluminium cladding and black seals together. This helps you decide whether you want clear contrast or a restrained coordination with the other entrance elements.

05

Preparing made-to-measure sizing carefully

The single-panel door sidelight is available in made-to-measure dimensions. The required measurements should relate to the actual installation situation and planned combination. It is essential to make clear which measurement describes the entire intended opening and which applies only to the sidelight. When combined with a door, do not confuse sidelight width, door-element dimensions and overall dimensions. Have the relevant values professionally determined for the actual building situation where needed.

Also describe how the fixed sidelight is to be arranged within the planned door setting. A simple dimensioned sketch can clearly show the complete opening, the door element and the separate sidelight area. Mark which measurements belong to the sidelight and which relate to the adjacent door element or total opening. Add the desired timber species, whether aluminium cladding is required and your preferred colour. For a version with bars or a panel, name the selected design pattern clearly. This creates a compact project description combining function, dimensions and appearance of the fixed element.

Take the selected frame version into account when planning dimensions. Without aluminium cladding, the outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm; with aluminium cladding it measures 115 × 57 mm. State which version is intended when making your enquiry. The design pattern should also be selected early or narrowed to a few options. A fully glazed version without bars, a pattern with horizontal glazing-dividing bars and a combination of glazing and panel each create a different distribution of surfaces. Giving the sidelight size, outer-frame version and pattern together describes your desired appearance much more clearly.

06

Coordinating colour and design with door and windows

Colour selection is a supported purchase choice for this door sidelight. Choose a colour that coordinates the frame with the adjacent door and other elements, or deliberately creates a design accent. For a calm overall result, assess timber species, aluminium cladding, black glazing seal and bar pattern alongside the colour. The same colour name does not necessarily produce the same effect on different materials or product constructions, so consider the complete combination.

If the adjacent door is also glazed, its lines offer a useful starting point for the design. Horizontal glazing-dividing bars in the sidelight can repeat existing horizontal lines, while a bar-free version makes a calmer secondary surface. A pattern with glazing and panel can be considered where the door also combines open and closed areas. Assess both elements together and describe the intended effect in your enquiry. Clearly state which pattern is required for the fixed door sidelight, so its selection is not confused with the design or function of the moving door element.

Even with several glazed surfaces in the same project, the same product is not necessarily required everywhere. A door sidelight is intended as a fixed addition to a door setting, whereas a fixed glazed window is its own window category. Both may not open, but select them according to their intended role, form and individual product specification. Planning material, colour and design together lets you coordinate related elements without transferring technical features from one category to another.

07

Door sidelight, fixed window or opening door?

The essential decision starts with the function required. If the additional area beside a door is to remain permanently fixed, this single-panel glazed door sidelight is the appropriate product type within the options described. If another access point or opening element is needed in the same position, consider a suitable door solution instead. Inward- or outward-opening patio doors and laterally sliding doors have their own modes of movement and constructions; their features must not be transferred to the fixed sidelight.

A fixed glazed window also does not open, but fulfils a different product role. A rectangular fixed window can be considered as an independent window solution, while a round fixed glazed window offers a circular shape. By contrast, the single-panel door sidelight is specifically described as a sidelight for door planning. When choosing, consider not only the shared fixed-glazing property but also its intended connection with the entrance, its shape and the available design patterns.

Panelled internal doors are available as a separate category for interior spaces requiring a moving door. For transitions where a moving glazed door is wanted, single- or double-leaf patio doors or laterally sliding door systems may be relevant. These alternatives have their own materials, fittings, frame dimensions, glazing details and purchase choices. The linked products below make comparison easier, but assess each by its own function and specification.

Clear details for the right selection

For a specific enquiry, we only need the details that clearly describe your preferred version: the relevant dimensions, pine or oak, whether aluminium cladding is required, the desired colour, a 2- or 3-pane insulating glass unit and the preferred design pattern. If glazing and panel are to be combined, state this explicitly. For a bar design, also specify whether bars are glazing-dividing or decorative, plus the desired horizontal and, where applicable, vertical arrangement.

Also tell us how the fixed sidelight relates to the intended door. This lets us match your selection to the supported options without confusing the sidelight with a moving door leaf. A short, clear project description is usually more useful than assumed technical details. The single-panel glazed door sidelight is covered by our five-year guarantee for windows and doors.

Can the door sidelight be opened?

No. The single-panel door sidelight is fixed, non-opening glazing in one frame. It is not a moving door leaf and does not perform a door function.

Which materials are available?

Pine and oak are available. Both timber species are also offered with aluminium cladding, allowing you to select the material and finish to suit your project.

Which glazing can I choose?

The door sidelight is available with a 2- or 3-pane insulating glass unit. The glazing includes a heat-reflective coating, a warm-edge spacer (CHR) and argon gas filling.

Is the door sidelight made to measure?

Yes. Made-to-measure sizing and colour selection are supported. Please state the relevant dimensions and your preferred colour as clearly as possible in your enquiry.

Are designs with bars or panels available?

Yes. Alongside a bar-free design, there are patterns with horizontal glazing-dividing bars and versions with decorative horizontal or vertical bars. Some patterns combine glazing and panel.

Which glazing seals are used?

The glazing seals on this door sidelight are black rubber. The dark outline can be considered when coordinating the entrance colour and design.

What are the outer-frame dimensions?

The outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-frame dimension is 115 × 57 mm.

How long does the guarantee apply?
