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

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.

  • Lobby and corridor screens with doors
  • Stair enclosure screens
  • Smoke seals and closers on doors
  • Evidence for the fire safety file

What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Rotherham

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.

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.

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.

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.
