Fire Door Glazing in Hertfordshire: 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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hertfordshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hertfordshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
