Hastings Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I cannot find online the document pdf recommended in the building regulations on how to do this: "Accessible thresholds in new housing – Guidance for house builders and designers". All the door manufacturers' cross section detail drawings of accessible thresholds show some form of drain just in front of the door but in the diagram in the building regulations guidance (Scotland) no such drain is shown. Is the drain simply good practice or is it mandatory (in a new build)? I was planning on having the door entrance platt area (concrete) slope away to a drain (already in place serving a rainwater downpipe) that is 2.8m away from the door. Thanks.

Russell griffiths Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Not mandatory, just good practice. My accessible door is under a roof area, so no need for drainage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
