Fire Escapes are exterior steel egress stairs and balconies fabricated to provide a code-driven secondary means of escape from upper floors. For Thornhill work, The Grate Guys builds fire escapes to order from field dimensions, not a catalogue.
Most Thornhill fire escapes jobs involve multi-story buildings, apartments, and commercial retrofits. Emergency egress, life safety, and secondary exit access are the recurring drivers; each Thornhill order is sized to its own situation, not a one-size approach.
Thornhill's need for fire escapes (York Region (Markham / Vaughan)) is driven largely by Commercial office and retail, healthcare, tech and professional services, light industrial and condo/mixed-use development. Most of it sits around Yonge Street corridor, Centre Street, Doncaster and Steeles employment lands, Allen Road/Highway 7 commercial strips.
