What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Stalybridge
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.
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Stair enclosure screens
Key checks for Stalybridge projects
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
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.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.

Can I use glass on a fire escape route?
Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.
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.

Yes. We survey and install in Stalybridge and across Greater Manchester, including the SK15 district and nearby Dukinfield.
