- Smoke seals and closers on doors
Key checks for Dumfries projects
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated escape route glazing in Dumfries?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
Sectors we cover in Dumfries
We can survey and quote for schools and colleges, hotels and other building types in Dumfries.
Questions about fire-rated escape route glazing in Dumfries
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.
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.
Can you price fire-rated escape route glazing in Dumfries 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Dumfries?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
