Guest John maitland Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have recently converted my double garage to a play room in 1 garage and a utility in the back half of the other. The builder has fitted a new fire door between utility and store but isn’t self closing and doesn’t have the seal around edge of door like the old 1 from house to garage. does this matter as it isn’t really a garage anymore it’s only a store. 2.5m by 2.5m. any help would be great thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 You are quite correct, if it is not being used to garage a car then it is not a garage and the rule about a full FD30s between the the house and garage does not apply. I believe because a garage houses a car which rely on flammable liquids, it's a high fire risk and the means of escape from the house must have a higher degree of protection.
