Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the PE13 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated escape route glazing for buildings across Wisbech, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Wisbech, including the PE13, PE14 districts, and in nearby March, King's Lynn, Spalding. Wisbech is about 29 km from Peterborough, the largest town in our Cambridgeshire coverage.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
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.
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.
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.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Wisbech budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Sector guides below cover hotels, blocks of flats and other buildings in Wisbech.
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

We visit Wisbech to measure, record existing marks and check the frames and substrate.
We set out the system, glass, evidence and programme, with a fixed price.
We install, photograph seals and fixings before closing up, and hand over the schedule.
Send sizes, photos of any glass marks or your inspection report and we will come back with the right tested system.
