Fire Door to flat

[Guest Barry D]

Hi

Has EVERY flat entrance door got to be a fire door, or if the flat front door opens to fresh air can it just be a normal door 

thanks

As a general rule flat entrance doors should be fire rated.  The basic exception are when there is no door or window above them (top floor) and a person can get 1.8m away from the building without passing another door (a balcony for instance)
