Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Faversham: 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.

  • Stair enclosure screens
  • Insulating glass where escape routes require it
  • Lobby and corridor screens with doors
  • Evidence for the fire safety file

How we work in Faversham

England rules applied

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

Vision through doors

Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.

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.
