Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Deal: what's included

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.

  • Lobby and corridor screens with doors
  • Smoke seals and closers on doors
  • Evidence for the fire safety file
  • Insulating glass where escape routes require it

What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Deal

Inspection regimes

In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.

Integrity versus insulation

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.

Smoke control

Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.

FAQs for Deal

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.

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.

Yes. We survey and install in Deal and across Kent, including the CT14 district and nearby Dover.

Can you price fire-rated escape route glazing in Deal from photos?

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.
