What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Warrington

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.

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

Warrington coverage and nearby towns

Whether the building is in central Warrington or the wider WA1, WA55, WA2, WA4 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Newton-le-Willows, Golborne, Widnes. Warrington is the largest town in our Cheshire coverage.

Key checks for Warrington projects

Stair enclosures

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.

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 regulations that shape the job

England Which rules apply?

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.

Can work be done while the building is occupied?

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Warrington?

Building work in Warrington follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
