i have a mid terraced house with a middle bedroom that has a window situated above a glass roof. i need an escape route. The bedroom door opens onto an open landing leading to open stairs, so i guess that is not an option. i have been advised that an escape ladder onto the glass roof is also not an option as the glass is not fire glass. The research that i have done offers limited solutions, as follows:

1. Create a fire resistant hatch into an adjoining bedroom. So go through the hatch and escape from other bedroom via window to front of the house

2. Replace the glass with fire glass (not easy to do, not practical, and likely to be expensive)

3. Build a platform above the glass and below the bedroom window onto which the escapee could stand without standing directly on the glass roof.

Any help or advice would be greatfully received to resolve this matter

Many thanks
