What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Cheltenham
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.
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Stair enclosure screens
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors

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

FAQs for Cheltenham
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 work be done while the building is occupied?
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Cheltenham?
Yes. We survey and install in Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire, including the GL50 district and nearby Tewkesbury.
Can you price fire-rated escape route glazing in Cheltenham 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.
