These panels are mounted externally and positioned over internally opening windows to prevent the risk of falling, providing a discreet and elegant solution for buildings where window configurations would otherwise introduce a safety risk.
These are external architectural panels designed to act as a physical barrier to falling, typically installed where:
Unlike traditional internal restrictors or glass balustrades, these feature panels are installed outside the window zone, preserving internal space while enhancing the building’s façade design.
All panels are custom-designed to suit project-specific requirements and can be manufactured in a wide variety of materials, perforation styles, colours and finishes.
Whether you’re after solid sheet aluminium, laser-cut patterns, perforated panels, or vertical or horizontal fins, we’ll work with your team to align the visual identity of the panel with the wider façade strategy.
These panels are both aesthetic and functional, designed to elevate the appearance of the building while maintaining safety compliance.
As a specialist façade contractor, Advanced Glass ensures that fall protection feature panels are fully coordinated with surrounding windows, cladding, glazing systems, and substructure. Early-stage design input helps reduce clashes, avoid over-engineering, and maintain a clean visual aesthetic.
We also ensure fixings and supports are coordinated with wind loadings, panel sizes, and interface details, ensuring structural and safety compliance across the envelope.
With the increasing use of floor-to-ceiling glazing and internally opening windows in both new builds and refurbishments, fall protection panels offer a practical solution that satisfies regulatory safety obligations while enhancing façade design.
Our team can support you from design coordination through to installation, including airflow assessments, structural calculations, and final QA documentation for Gateway 2 and Gateway 3 compliance under the Building Safety Act.
We’d love to support your project’s safety and design goals. Get in touch today to discuss your fall protection panel requirements or to request a project-specific proposal and airflow analysis.

Aluminium windows offer durability, low maintenance, excellent thermal efficiency, and modern aesthetics, making them ideal for commercial applications.
Yes, modern aluminium windows feature thermal break technology to improve insulation, achieving low U-values meeting Part L building regulations and often exceeding it.
Options include double or triple glazing, solar control glass, acoustic glass, laminated safety glass, and enhanced security glass, depending on performance needs.
Yes, commercial aluminium windows can be PAS 24 certified and meet Secured by Design standards with multi-point locking systems with reinforced frames.
When properly maintained, aluminium windows can last 30 – 40 years, due to their corrosion resistance and high-quality powder-coated finishes.
Yes, they are available in a wide range of RAL colours, anodised finishes, and different configurations, including casement, tilt-and-turn, and sliding options.
Aluminium windows are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, with high wind load resistance and water-tightness ratings to ensure long-term performance.
Minimal maintenance is needed – just the occasional cleaning and lubrication of moving parts is required to help ensure smooth operation and longevity.
Yes, aluminium is up to 100% recyclable, and many modern aluminium window systems use recycled materials, supporting sustainable building practices.
Lead times vary depending on customisation and project size, but standard windows typically take 12 – 16 weeks for design, manufacturing and delivery.
