Before you order in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
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.
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.
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.
Regulations for Renfrewshire and Inverclyde projects
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.

FAQs for Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
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.
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.
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 you cover all of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, including Paisley and Greenock, Newton Mearns, Renfrew, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
