01

A fixed function for everyday use

The single-panel door sidelight is a fixed glazed element in one frame. It does not open and is expressly not a door leaf. This functional distinction matters when selecting a product: the adjoining door provides access, while the sidelight remains a permanently closed part of the planned combination. It therefore needs no everyday operation. When comparing options, first decide whether the additional area should be glazed and fixed only, or whether an opening door element is genuinely needed there.

As the sidelight does not open, there is no opening direction to select for this element. Handle selection is not among this product’s supported purchase choices either. Instead, focus on made-to-measure dimensions, colour, frame material, glazing and the preferred design pattern. This keeps planning clear and prevents door features from being mistakenly applied to the sidelight. For example, left- or right-hinged configurations apply to moving door leaves, not to this fixed-frame solution.

In design planning, the door sidelight can serve as a calm glass area or a more strongly divided feature. Its effect depends mainly on the selected pattern, colour and material finish. Undivided glazing creates a different impression from divisions with bars or a combination of glass and panel. Consider the exact arrangement alongside the adjoining door and the full 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 specified with aluminium cladding. You can therefore choose a timber-only version or a timber solution with additional cladding. Which option suits visually is best considered with the door, adjoining windows and any colours already selected. Treat pine and oak as separate material choices; your decision can follow the preferred timber and the design direction of the overall project.

Without aluminium cladding, the outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-frame dimension is 115 × 57 mm. These measurements refer specifically to the outer frame of the single-panel door sidelight. They should not be equated with door-leaf dimensions or the frame sizes of other window and door products. When coordinating adjoining components, use the correct name for each part so measurements 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 made from black rubber, creating a visible dark detail where glass meets frame. Consider colour, timber species, aluminium cladding and the black seals together. This makes it easier to judge whether you prefer a distinct contrast or a more 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. Required measurements should relate to the actual installation situation and the planned combination. It is important to state clearly which dimension describes the whole intended opening and which relates only to the sidelight. When combined with a door, the sidelight width, the door-element dimensions and the overall size must not be confused. If required, have the relevant values professionally established for the actual building situation.

Also describe how the fixed sidelight is to be arranged within the planned doorway. A simple dimensioned sketch can clearly show the complete opening, the door element and the separate area for the sidelight. Mark which dimensions belong to the sidelight and which concern the adjoining door element or complete opening. Add the chosen timber species, whether aluminium cladding is required, and the preferred colour. Where bars or a panel are included, the selected design pattern should also be named clearly. This creates a compact project description bringing together the function, dimensions and design 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. Confirm which version is intended when making your enquiry. The design pattern should also be chosen early or narrowed to a few options. A fully glazed version without bars, a pattern with horizontal glazing-dividing bars and a glazing-and-panel combination each create a different distribution of surfaces. Stating sidelight size, outer-frame version and pattern together describes your preferred appearance much more precisely.

06

Coordinating colour and design with doors and windows

Colour selection is a supported purchase choice for this door sidelight. Choose a colour that relates the frame to the adjoining door and other elements, or use it to create a deliberate design accent. For an overall calm effect, assess the shade alongside the timber species, aluminium cladding, black glazing seal and bar pattern. An identical colour name alone does not guarantee the same appearance across different materials or product constructions, so consider the complete combination.

If the adjoining door is also glazed, its line arrangement is a useful starting point for the design. Horizontal glazing-dividing bars in the sidelight can repeat existing horizontal lines, while a bar-free version creates a calmer adjoining surface. A design with glazing and a panel can be considered where the door also combines open and closed areas. Review both elements together and describe the desired effect in your enquiry. State clearly 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 where a project has several glazed areas, the same product is not necessarily required everywhere. A door sidelight is intended as a fixed addition to a doorway, whereas a fixed-glazed window belongs to its own window category. Both may be non-opening, but should be selected according to their intended role, form and individual product specification. Planning material, colour and design together can 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 required function. If the extra area beside a door should remain permanently fixed, this single-panel glazed door sidelight is the suitable product type within the options described. If another access point or an opening element is required in that position, consider a suitable door solution instead. Inward- or outward-opening patio doors and sliding doors have their own movements and constructions; their features must not be transferred to the fixed sidelight.

A fixed-glazed window also cannot be opened, but fulfils a different product role. A rectangular fixed window can be considered as an independent window solution, while a fixed round window offers a circular form. In contrast, the single-panel door sidelight is expressly intended as a sidelight in a door project. Selection should therefore consider not only the shared fixed-glazing characteristic, but also the intended relationship with the entrance, the form and the available design patterns for each product.

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 and sliding door systems may be relevant. These alternatives have their own materials, fittings, frame sizes, glazing details and purchase choices. The linked products below make comparison easier, but each should be assessed according to its own function and specification.

Clear details for the right selection

For a specific enquiry, we need only the details that identify your preferred version clearly: 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 a panel are to be combined, state this expressly. For a bar design, it also helps to identify the bars as glazing-dividing or decorative and to specify the desired horizontal and, where applicable, vertical line arrangement.

Please also tell us how the fixed sidelight relates to the intended door. This lets us assess your product choice against 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 warranty 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 serve as a door.

Which materials are available?

Pine and oak are available. Both timber species are also offered in a version with aluminium cladding, allowing you to choose 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. In your enquiry, state the relevant dimensions and preferred colour as clearly as possible.

Are designs with bars or a panel available?

Yes. As well as a design without bars, patterns with horizontal glazing-dividing bars and versions with decorative horizontal or vertical bars are available. Some patterns combine glazing and a panel.

Which glazing seals are used?

The glazing seals on this door sidelight are black rubber. This 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. In the aluminium-clad version, the outer-frame dimension is 115 × 57 mm.

How long is the warranty valid?

The single-panel glazed door sidelight has our five-year warranty for windows and doors.
