Manufactured using the Alu Space internal door system, single doors with fan lights are made to measure and suited to both residential and commercial interiors.
Designed to connect spaces, not divide them.

Aluminium single door with fan light
A single internal door with a fan light is designed for taller internal openings where proportion and light are key considerations.
By adding a fixed glazed panel above the door, this configuration increases height, improves light transfer and creates a more balanced
architectural feature within the space.
Manufactured using the Alu Space internal door system, single doors with fan lights are made to measure and suited to both residential and commercial interiors.
Designed for taller openings
Standard internal doors are typically limited in height. In spaces with higher ceilings, a fan light allows the door system to extend
vertically while maintaining consistent sightlines and design language.
This configuration is commonly used in:
- Period properties with tall ceilings
- Modern homes with increased ceiling heights
- Open-plan interiors requiring visual structure
- Commercial offices and meeting rooms
The fan light ensures the door does not feel undersized within the opening.
What is a single door with fan light?
A single door with fan light consists of:
- One hinged aluminium door leaf
- One fixed glazed panel positioned above the door
The fan light is non-opening and manufactured as part of the same frame system, ensuring alignment of midrails and consistent proportions throughout the installation.
Key benefits and USPs
