Overlight in combination with pivot or hinged doors

Advantages of an overhead light

An overhead light in an aluminium door from Aluwdoors has many advantages. Such a fanlight provides extra light while the door itself still closes off a room properly. Visually, the fanlight fits well with the profile of the door, visually adding height and a neat finish to the door. 

We make doors up to a height of 300 cm. If you opt for a fanlight, both the door and the fanlight remain fully custom-made. So you can choose to make the door a little lower and compensate for the extra height with a skylight. We like to think along with you when making these choices, so that the division will always suit your situation.

Overhead lights in combination with pivot doors

In combination with pivot doors a fanlight comes into its own. With these doors, an overhead light is a nice addition because the door itself does not need to be raised. This keeps the door lightweight and easy to operate. The skylight provides extra light and makes the room seem higher. 

Because a pivot door is often in the centre of a room, an overhead light enhances the open look without the door losing its ability to turn. The fixed glass section above the door provides height and light, while the door itself remains clear and functions smoothly.

Overhead lights in combination with hinged doors

At hinged doors an overhead light prevents the door from becoming extra high and heavy. The extra height is accommodated in the fixed fanlight. As a result, the door remains easy to open and closes securely. Because the profiles of the door and skylight fit together, the whole looks well finished.The fixed glass section above the door ensures a neat connection with the rest of the wall.

Technical points of interest

When fitting a fanlight, it is important to take care that it fits precisely. The profiles must fit together precisely so that the door and fanlight form one tight unit.
