Emergency Exit? Final Escape? Fire Escape? Panic Escape? Whatever you need for your fire and panic exit strategy, Ascot have you covered.
The Ascot range of panic escape doors truly has you covered when it comes to designing effective exit strategies.
Available with a vast range of leaf, frame, ironmongery and door furniture options; if you’re looking to enhance your means of escape, Ascot have all the options to meet the individual requirements of every opening.
Leaf and Frame Options
Leaf and frame hardware are offered with a broad range of options to truly satisfy individual requirements, for both internal and external openings. Leaf options allow specifiers and end-users to select practical, effective solutions to achieve specific aims: for example improving air flow or ventilation by integrating louvres, or maximising visibility and light inlet via robust vision panels – in a variety of sizes and arrangements for complete customisation.
Door frames, in a variety of styles and rebate arrangements, ensure a tight and effective fit into a wide variety of opening constructions and substrates.
Panic Hardware
Panic Hardware, in a variety of bolt and latch arrangements can be combined with external access devices. Options are available to achieve security ratings, when combined with the appropriate testing standards.
Beyond the Frame
Beyond the leaf and frame, over panels and fixed side panels – both solid for insulation or glazed for natural light inlet – allow non-standard apertures to be seamlessly integrated into the overall door design.
Building and Equality Regulations
Compliance with building regulations is always key; Ascot’s specification services ensure you get the best arrangement and fit for non-fire rated openings, and professional guidance through the available options if the application demands that the doors are fire rated. Our team help to ensure you always achieve your design and operational aims within the tested and certified approved parameters.
When looking to specify a panic or emergency escape door, the Equality Act provides instruction relating to disabled access, which should be factored into design. The Act, and associated appendices, may have an effect on the door arrangement, dependant upon variable site specific information. Our technical team offer further information and advice, whenever required.
A selection of options can be viewed in the Ascot Brochure. For any further support, contact our sales team who will be happy to support.
