Project Analysis

PROTECTED MEANS OF ESCAPE

Two fire rated screens were replaced as part of a larger project during the school summer holidays. These screens were required to provide a protected escape route down an external staircase and were also specified as fire escape doors.

As part of these works, we replaced fire stopping behind the existing cladding.
