About internal windows and borrowed light

An internal window is a fixed glazed panel set into an internal wall to borrow daylight from a bright room for a dark one — an inner hallway, a landing, a windowless bathroom or a box room. A glazed fanlight over a door does the same job. Full details on internal windows and borrowed light.

Internal windows and borrowed light for Greater Manchester properties

Greater Manchester's housing includes red-brick terraces, cotton-mill apartment conversions and Victorian semis in Didsbury and Chorlton. Whatever the age of the property, we check the floor, walls and ceiling before anything is made, because internal glass is only as good as the opening it fits. On the commercial side, much of our Greater Manchester work involves offices across Spinningfields, the Northern Quarter and MediaCityUK.
