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.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Faversham budgets are not open-ended.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Faversham, including the ME13 districts, and in nearby Whitstable, Sittingbourne, Canterbury. Faversham is about 26 km from Maidstone, the largest town in our Kent coverage.
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.
We can survey and quote for offices, industrial units and other building types in Faversham.
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
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.
