What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Coalville

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.

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

Key checks for Coalville projects

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.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Coalville questions

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.

Can you price fire-rated escape route glazing in Coalville 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.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Coalville?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
