Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Carrickfergus: 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
- Stair enclosure screens
Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters
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.
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.

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Fire glazing rules in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland Which rules apply?
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Carrickfergus 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.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Carrickfergus?
Survey timing in Carrickfergus depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Carrickfergus?
Yes. We survey and install in Carrickfergus and across County Antrim, including the BT38 district and nearby Newtownabbey.
