Hello,

The Premdor catalogue have given the door an Amber Part-L rating, quote
"Part L (Amber icon) suitable for refurbishment projects as the glazed
area
of the door is less than 50% of door and frame area". No-where in the
Building regs application for I've downloaded does it mention about the
size
of the glazed area !

Advice appreciated.
Tim.



My understanding is that part L only applies to doors if the glazed area
is
more than 50% of the door and frame area. If I am correct your door falls
outside the scope of the regulations


Watching this thread keenly for definitive answer on the above.

If so, then wahoo - bin tacky white DG monstrosity, and lovely
in-character-painted-wooden-door for us, then. And I'll be happy no regs
broken.

If not, then best just employ a particularly slippery solicitor if I come to
sell the place....

I can't find a specific reference for this in (certainly) the
legislation or the Approved Documents.


How about paragraph 2.2:
"shall only be building work where that work consists of the provision of a
window, rooflight, roof window, door (being a door which together with its
frame has more than 50 per cent of its internal face area glazed),........"
