Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: an overview for Merseyside
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.
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Stair enclosure screens

Before you order in Merseyside
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Keep routes clear
We plan installation so escape routes stay available while the building is occupied, or agree temporary arrangements with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Regulations for Merseyside projects
England Which rules apply?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Merseyside: questions
Can I use glass on a fire escape route?
Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.
Can work be done while the building is occupied?
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
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.
Do you cover all of Merseyside?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Merseyside, including Liverpool and Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport, Wallasey, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
