Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the CT14 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated escape route glazing for buildings across Deal, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Building guidance limits the amount and position of integrity-only glass on protected routes because people may need to pass close to it while fire is on the other side. Insulating glass removes most of those limits.
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
Our Kent coverage takes in Deal (CT14) and the neighbouring towns of Dover, Ramsgate, Broadstairs. Deal is about 62 km from Maidstone, the largest town in our Kent coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Deal around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Deal building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Fire-rated escape route glazing applies to many building types in Deal, including hotels and care homes.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Deal and across Kent, including the CT14 district and nearby Dover.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
