Nope. We're installing it because we're in an old Glasgow tenement building with one stairwell, on a street where a couple of other buildings have burned to the ground in the last few years, and the idea is to give us an alternative escape route to be used in an absolute emergency. I'm aware that these are a requirement if you're converting an attic into a bedroom for an HMO in England though.
