Fire Door Glazing in Cornwall: questions
How can I tell if fire door glass is fire-rated?
Fire-rated glass is usually etched or labelled with the product name and standard in a corner. Wired glass may be fire-rated but not all is. If there is no mark, the inspection records the glass as unverified.
Can I add a vision panel to an existing fire door?
Only if the door's evidence allows a panel of that size and position, and it is fitted with a matched glazing system.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cornwall?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cornwall 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 Cornwall?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cornwall can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
