How do I know if my building requires fire rated glazing?How do I know if my building requires fire rated glazing? ?

I wondered about this when adding a glazed screen beside a communal stairwell. The answer wasn’t simply based on the type of glass; the location, escape route, surrounding construction and required fire-resistance period all mattered. I spoke to building control and sent the plans to fire rated glass , who helped explain which specification might be suitable. I’d avoid choosing by appearance alone: ask your local building-control team or fire consultant first, then get the supplier to confirm the glass, frame and certification match.
