What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Kilburn
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.
- Stair enclosure screens
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Evidence for the fire safety file
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
Key checks for Kilburn projects
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.
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, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Kilburn 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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Kilburn?
Building work in Kilburn follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
