What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Redruth
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
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors
- Smoke seals and closers on doors

What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Redruth
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.
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
