What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Chesham
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.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Chesham questions
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.

Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
How quickly can you survey in Chesham?
Survey timing in Chesham 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.
Can you price fire-rated escape route glazing in Chesham from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
