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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Stamford Hill, including the N16, E5, N15, N4, E8, N5 districts, and in nearby Highbury, Tottenham, Holloway. Stamford Hill is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
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.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
