Key checks for Rickmansworth projects
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Flat entrance doors
In blocks of flats, the glazing around flat entrance doors forms part of the protection of the common parts and needs to match the door's performance.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
