Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Aberdeen: what's included
We supply and install glazed screens, doors and panels on escape routes in offices, flats, schools and healthcare buildings, working from the fire strategy so integrity and insulation are used in the right places, and smoke control is maintained.

- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
How we work in Aberdeen
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Aberdeen building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Aberdeen identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Scotland rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Scotland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Key checks for Aberdeen projects
Integrity versus insulation
Building guidance limits the amount and position of integrity-only glass on protected routes because people may need to pass close to it while fire is on the other side. Insulating glass removes most of those limits.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.

Which rules apply to fire-rated escape route glazing in Aberdeen?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Aberdeen questions
Why would a corridor need insulating glass?
Because people escaping may pass right beside the glass. Insulating glass limits the temperature rise on the escape side, so people can pass it more safely.
Do escape route doors need vision panels?
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Aberdeen?
Yes. We survey and install in Aberdeen and across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray, including the AB10 district and nearby Arbroath.
How quickly can you survey in Aberdeen?
Survey timing in Aberdeen depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
