What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Belper
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.
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Stair enclosure screens
Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
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.
Integrity versus insulation
Building guidance limits the amount and position of integrity-only glass on protected routes because people may need to pass close to it while fire is on the other side. Insulating glass removes most of those limits.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Belper questions
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 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.
Can you price fire-rated escape route glazing in Belper from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
How quickly can you survey in Belper?
Survey timing in Belper 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.
