  • When I had my loft conversion done the choice was to fit a hard wired smoke alarm in every single room in the flat or replace the old doors with fire doors.

    It's this, I think, and I guess I'm not up to speed on the regs. Can't see why that would trigger a 'fuck your place up with awful, useless doors that just get propped open anyway' reg.

    Seems mental.

    The old, lovely doors were in the shed. @Hovis

  • fuck your place up with awful, useless doors that just get propped open anyway

    You can get nice fire doors made but they're spenny.

    Internal domestic fire doors no longer require closers the regs were changed a couple of years ago. Basically too many little kids were getting fingers trapped and for once the powers that be changed the regs sensibly rather than making everyone fit those fucking hideous finger savers you see in restaurants etc.
