Key checks for Sheffield projects
Escape route doors
Doors that subdivide corridors and doors that swing both ways normally need vision panels, and integrity-only glass in doors may be limited by building guidance on escape routes.
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
