Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Eltham: what's included
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
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters
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.
Stair enclosures
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.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Eltham questions
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 escape route doors need vision panels?
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.

Building work in Eltham follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Eltham?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
