Key checks for Alfreton projects
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Which rules apply to fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Alfreton?
