Common questions in Portishead

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Portishead?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Portishead?

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

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.
