Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →We provide fire-rated escape route glazing in Burnley and across Lancashire, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.

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.
We can phase work in Burnley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Burnley budgets are not open-ended.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Our Lancashire coverage takes in Burnley (BB11, BB10) and the neighbouring towns of Nelson, Colne, Accrington. Preston, around 31 km from Burnley, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, healthcare buildings and other buildings in Burnley.
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.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
