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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Haverhill identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Haverhill building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Coverage around Haverhill includes the CB9 districts and nearby Newmarket, Sudbury, Braintree. Haverhill lies roughly 49 km from Ipswich, within our Suffolk coverage.
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.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, blocks of flats and other buildings in Haverhill.
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
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.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
