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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Sutton budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Sutton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
