Guest Peter Thorpe Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 As a general question if a corridor is carpeted and this runs continuously under the fire doors should this be broken up with a threshold as a fire break ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I would think it depends on the carpet used, if it has passed the hot nut test, then not that critical but fitting FR threshold is a much better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Looking at this from the fire door survey point of view. The British Standard for timber-based fire door assemblies (BS 8214) states no requirement with regard to floor coverings at the threshold. Installing a threshold strip to the floor is always preferable as it helps meet compliance with door leaf to floor gap requirements. BS 8214 and BS 9999 refer.
