Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Paisley: what's included
We supply and install glazed screens, doors and panels on escape routes in offices, flats, schools and healthcare buildings, working from the fire strategy so integrity and insulation are used in the right places, and smoke control is maintained.
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Stair enclosure screens
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Paisley
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
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.
Fire glazing rules in Scotland
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.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
