Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Congleton: what's included

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.

  • Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
  • Smoke seals and closers on doors
  • Evidence for the fire safety file
  • Stair enclosure screens

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

Smoke control

Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.

Vision through doors

Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.

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.
