What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Shepherds Bush
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
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Evidence for the fire safety file
Key checks for Shepherds Bush projects
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
