What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Kingston upon Hull
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
- Stair enclosure screens
What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Kingston upon Hull
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
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.

Questions about fire-rated escape route glazing in Kingston upon Hull
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 work on occupied buildings in Kingston upon Hull?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Yes. We survey and install in Kingston upon Hull and across East Riding of Yorkshire, including the HU1 district and nearby Beverley.
