Before you order fire-rated escape route glazing: what matters

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.

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.

Why would a corridor need insulating glass?

Because people escaping may pass right beside the glass. Insulating glass limits the temperature rise on the escape side, so people can pass it more safely.

Can work be done while the building is occupied?

Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Basingstoke?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Basingstoke?

Yes. We survey and install in Basingstoke and across Hampshire, including the RG21 district and nearby Fleet.
