What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Dunstable
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.
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Evidence for the fire safety file
- Stair enclosure screens
Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Stair enclosures
Glazing into a protected stair needs particular care; the rules depend on whether the stair is part of a protected shaft and how the building is used.
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.
Dunstable coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Dunstable or the wider LU6, LU4 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Luton, Leighton Buzzard, Harpenden. Dunstable is about 7 km from Luton, the largest town in our Bedfordshire coverage.

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.
Can work be done while the building is occupied?
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Dunstable?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Dunstable?
Building work in Dunstable follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
