What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Farnham
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
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
- Stair enclosure screens
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
