August 3, 20214 yr comment_21091 Hi I have recently come across a protected staircase, which the school has recently lined with carpet (they are unaware if its fire retardant) I am aware that protected staircase, should be of a fire resisting construction but obviously have concerns on the floor covering. I have looked in BS9999 and ADB, but cant see anything relating to floor coverings in a protected staircase Appreciate any it if anyone could advise or detail any relevant details I can quote Thank you Report
August 6, 20214 yr comment_21138 What do you mean lined is the carpet fitted to the floor or the walls. Report
August 9, 20214 yr comment_21192 I my experience non FR carpet fix to the floor is not a serious fire risk it can be more a tripping hazard but you should ensure it doesn't pass under fire doors in case it passes fire under the fire door, consequently not provide the necessary protection. Report
