What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Archway
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.
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Stair enclosure screens
- Evidence for the fire safety file
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters
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.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
