- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels

What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Northampton
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Stair enclosures
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.
