What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Newmarket
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.
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors
- Stair enclosure screens
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it

Key checks for Newmarket projects
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
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.
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Which rules apply to fire-rated escape route glazing in Newmarket?
England Which rules apply?
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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
