What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Letchworth Garden City
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.
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.
