Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Milton Keynes: what's included
Escape route glazing is fire-rated glass in the walls and doors of protected stairs, lobbies and corridors, the routes people rely on to leave a building safely. It has to hold back fire and smoke for the rated time, and on many routes it has to keep heat away from people passing it as well.
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors

Key checks for Milton Keynes projects
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.
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.

England Which rules apply?

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Milton Keynes 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.
How quickly can you survey in Milton Keynes?
Survey timing in Milton Keynes 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.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Milton Keynes?
Yes. We survey and install in Milton Keynes and across Buckinghamshire, including the MK6 district and nearby Bletchley.
