Fire Door Glazing in Somerset: 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 Somerset?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Somerset 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 Somerset?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Somerset can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
