July 6, 20214 yr comment_20678 Does the new FS act 21 mean that external walls, windows and entrance doors have to be fire resisting, were as now double glazing and a wooden or Upvc entrance door would not be fire resisting Report
July 27, 20214 yr comment_20959 No, it means they have to be assessed as part of a Fire Risk Assessment. Doors and windows wouldn't automatically need to be fire resistant except in the situations they already would have needed to be (usually certain external balcony access situations). The walls will depend on their make up, building height and what other protective measures are present in the block (e.g. sprinklers, full evacuate alarms, etc), Report
