What's involved with fire-rated escape route glazing in Littlehampton
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.
- Insulating glass where escape routes require it
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Evidence for the fire safety file
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
Key checks for Littlehampton projects
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
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.

England regulations that shape the job
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.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Questions about fire-rated escape route glazing in Littlehampton
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.

Building work in Littlehampton follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
