Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Macclesfield: 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.
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Evidence for the fire safety file
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
Key checks for Macclesfield projects
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.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Macclesfield questions
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 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.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Macclesfield?
Yes. We survey and install in Macclesfield and across Cheshire, including the SK11 district and nearby Wilmslow.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Macclesfield?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
