Fire Door Glazing in Cheshire: questions

Can I reuse the existing beads?

Only if they are the correct fire-rated type, undamaged and suit the new glass. Often they are replaced as part of the system.

What is the difference between integrity and insulation glass?

Integrity glass stops flames and smoke but allows heat through. Insulating glass also limits heat transfer, which matters where people or materials are close to the door.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cheshire?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cheshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Cheshire?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cheshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
