What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Whitefield
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.

- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels

Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters
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.
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
