What to check before ordering in Tayside
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.
Smoke control
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
Towns we cover in Tayside
Tayside coverage includes Dundee, Perth, Arbroath and the PH, DD, FK, KY postcode areas (30 postcode districts).
Regulations for Tayside projects
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.
Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing in Tayside: questions
Can work be done while the building is occupied?
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Do escape route doors need vision panels?
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
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.
Which parts of Tayside do you cover?
All of it: Dundee, Perth, Arbroath and every district in the PH, DD, FK, KY postcode areas.
