Fire Door Glazing in the Scottish Borders: 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 in the Scottish Borders?
No. the Scottish Borders is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
Do you work in occupied buildings in the Scottish Borders?
