01

Fixed function in everyday use

This single-panel door sidelight is made as fixed glazing in one frame. It does not open and is expressly not a door leaf. This clear functional distinction matters when choosing a product: the adjoining door provides access, while the sidelight is a permanently closed part of the planned combination. It therefore needs no everyday operation. When comparing solutions, first decide whether the additional area should be glazed and fixed only, or whether an opening door element is actually 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 purchasing choices either. Instead, planning centres on the right made-to-measure size, colour, frame material, glazing and preferred design pattern. This keeps planning straightforward and prevents door features being wrongly applied to the sidelight. A left- or right-hinged version, for example, applies to moving door leaves, not this fixed-frame solution.

In design planning, the door sidelight can be used as a calm expanse of glass or as a more strongly divided feature. The effect depends mainly on the chosen pattern, colour and material finish. Undivided glazing looks different from glazing divided by bars or a combination of glass and panel. Consider the exact arrangement alongside the neighbouring door and the full opening, without assigning an operating function to the fixed sidelight itself.

02

Timber types, aluminium cladding and frame construction

Pine and oak are available for the frame. Both timber types can also be specified with aluminium cladding. You can therefore choose between an all-timber finish and a timber solution with additional cladding. Which option suits the appearance best is sensibly assessed with the door, adjacent windows and colours already selected. Treat pine and oak as distinct material decisions; choose according to the preferred timber and the design direction of the whole project.

Without aluminium cladding, the outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-frame measurement is 115 × 57 mm. These dimensions refer specifically to the outer frame of the single-panel door sidelight. They should not be equated with door-leaf measurements or the frame dimensions of other window and door products. When coordinating neighbouring components, identify every product element correctly so dimensions from different constructions are not mixed during planning.

The single-panel glazed door sidelight is CE marked. It also has installation holes with a diameter of 14 mm. The glazing seals are black rubber, creating a visible dark detail between glass and frame. Consider the colour, timber type, aluminium cladding and black seals together. This makes it easier to judge whether a pronounced contrast or a restrained match with the other entrance elements is preferred.

05

Preparing made-to-measure sizing carefully

The single-panel door sidelight is available in a made-to-measure size. Required dimensions should relate to the specific installation situation and planned combination. It is important to make clear which measurement describes the entire intended opening and which applies only to the sidelight. When combined with a door, the sidelight width, door-element dimensions and overall measurement must not be confused. Where necessary, have the relevant values professionally determined for the actual construction situation.

Also describe how the fixed sidelight is to be positioned within the planned door arrangement. A simple dimensioned sketch can clearly show the full opening, the door element and the separate area for the door sidelight. Mark which dimensions belong to the sidelight and which concern the adjacent door element or total opening. Add the preferred timber type, the choice for or against aluminium cladding, and the preferred colour. For a version with bars or a panel, name the selected design pattern clearly as well. This creates a compact project description bringing together the fixed element's function, dimensions and appearance.

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

06

Coordinating colour and design with doors and windows

Colour selection is a supported purchasing choice for this door sidelight. Choose a colour that relates the frame to the neighbouring door and other elements, or deliberately creates a design accent. For an understated overall effect, assess the timber type, aluminium cladding, black glazing seal and bar pattern alongside the shade. The same colour name alone does not guarantee an identical effect on different materials or product constructions, so consider the full combination.

If the adjacent door is also glazed, its lines provide a useful starting point for the design. Horizontal glazing bars in the sidelight can pick up existing horizontal lines, while a bar-free version creates a calmer side area. A glazing-and-panel pattern may suit a door that also combines open and closed surfaces. For coordination, view both elements together and describe the desired effect in your enquiry. Clearly state which pattern is intended for the fixed door sidelight so its choice is not confused with the design or function of the moving door element.

Even where a project includes several glazed areas, the same product is not necessarily required throughout. A door sidelight is designed as a fixed addition to a door arrangement, while 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 respective product specifications. 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 key decision begins with the function required. If the additional area beside a door is to remain permanently fixed, this single-panel glazed door sidelight is the suitable 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 sliding doors have their own movement types 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 form. By contrast, the single-panel door sidelight is expressly intended as a sidelight for a door project. When choosing, consider not only their shared fixed-glazing characteristic, but also the intended connection with the entrance, the form and the available design patterns for each product.

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

Clear details for the right selection

For a specific enquiry, we need only the details that clearly describe your preferred version: the relevant dimensions, pine or oak, the choice for or against aluminium cladding, the desired colour, a 2- or 3-pane insulated glass unit and the preferred design pattern. If glazing and panel are to be combined, state this explicitly. For a bar design, it also helps to identify bars as glazing or decorative, and to specify the desired horizontal and, if applicable, vertical arrangement.

Please also tell us how the fixed sidelight relates to the intended door. This lets us base your product selection on the supported options without confusing the sidelight with a moving door leaf. A short, clear project description is usually more helpful than assumed technical details. The single-panel glazed door sidelight comes with 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 therefore not a moving door leaf and does not perform a door function.

Which materials are available?

Pine and oak are available. Both timber types 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 insulated 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 size selection and colour selection are supported. When making your enquiry, provide the relevant dimensions and preferred colour as clearly as possible.

Are designs with bars or panels available?

Yes. Alongside a bar-free design, there are patterns with horizontal glazing 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 made from 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. In the version with aluminium cladding, the outer-frame measurement 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.
