Guest Colin Middleton Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Our local Council management are enforcing sterile conditions in our high rise block. As part of this is the changing of small doormats usually offcuts of normal carpet within the flat. In place the Council insist on rubber backed mats. I would suggest that rubber backed mats, in the case of fire, would give off toxic fumes, possibly worse than the normal household pieces of carpet. Could a professional Fire Officer give his/her opinion on this. Or is it too trivial to be considered as a risk. Yours Sincerely Colin Middleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 The doormat will be a very low fire risk and having it rubber backed is more likely to prevent it slipping which could cause a trip hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
