Hi there.

I am looking for some guidance regarding fire regulations. I am looking to partition a room in a commercial property. The room has a fire exit in it and I'm looking to partition in half it with a curtain. Would you be able to guide me in this matter please?

Many thanks

Regards

Dan

    Will each partition have a door leading to ultimate safety (outside the premises) if so, providing the curtain meet the appropriate standard BS 5867: Part 2: 2008 – Curtains, drapes and window blinds then there should be no problems. Check out Contract Flammability Guide for further information.
