Guest Chris Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I have a flat which is G2 listed, it needs a new fd30 door as part of upgrade works, however my door step is solid stone and planners say I have to keep, that's fine however they do not want a threshold on the door step (door step is 150 years old and has that natural wear in the centre) this cause me a potential gap under the door, that a normal drop seal doesn't cover Any ideas regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 As you say, an auto-drop seal will not solve the 'soup-bowl' issue. And a static door bottom seal will either not fully seal the gap or cause the door to bind on the step. So there's a choice; fire door compliance or fire door non-compliance (BS8214). In my experience, non-compliance seems to be the popular choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 There will be nothing left to list too if a fire is allowed to spread through the building, so much heritage is lost by fire due to short sightedness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
