Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →If a building in Beverley needs fire-rated escape route glazing, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Beverley budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Beverley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
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.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Whether the building is in central Beverley or the wider HU17 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Kingston upon Hull, Bridlington, Scunthorpe. Kingston upon Hull, around 13 km from Beverley, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Fire-rated escape route glazing applies to many building types in Beverley, including public buildings and care homes.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
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.
