Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters

Inspection regimes

In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.

Keep routes clear

We plan installation so escape routes stay available while the building is occupied, or agree temporary arrangements with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated escape route glazing in Bracknell?

England Which rules apply?

Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Bracknell 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.

Can I use glass on a fire escape route?

Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Bracknell?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Bracknell?

Yes. We survey and install in Bracknell and across Berkshire, including the RG12 district and nearby Crowthorne.
