laundry chute - regs
I am thinking about building a laundry chute from landing to uitlity
room beneath. This ends up being a poorly sealed vertical duct, perfect for transmitting fire between floors. Anyone know how this can be done to satisfy regs ? Cheers, Simon. |

laundry chute - regs
On 3 Dec 2005 14:12:28 -0800, a particular chimpanzee named "dg"
randomly hit the keyboard and produced: Intumescent seals on self closing doors or an intumescent baffle in the chute A bit more information needed. What kind of building (hotel, flats, within a single house)? How many storeys? -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?" |

If this is in a "normal" house i cant see how it is affected by any regs. A fire can go straight up the stairs if it cares to. There is no requirement to fireproof the downstairs ceiling in my little semi, if I choose to cut a hole in my kitchen ceiling so that the wife can pass my tea up to me thats entirely up to me. Now if it went from the landing into an integral garage that would be different as there is a requirement to fireproof the garage. Otherwise I reckon you can do what you like. -- Nick H |
