FAQs for Chester-le-Street
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.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Chester-le-Street?
Yes. We survey and install in Chester-le-Street and across County Durham, including the DH3 district and nearby Washington.
How quickly can you survey in Chester-le-Street?
Survey timing in Chester-le-Street 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.
