What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Billericay

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.

Smoke control

Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.

Inspection regimes

In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
