Internal doors requirement

[Gone West]

Is there a requirement for timber internal doors to be fitted in order to obtain a BC completion certificate? These are not fire doors.

Hi Peter - the short answer is to ask your BCO as they will have their own view.

 

Part E (sound) may be a problem:

 

Part L (thermal insulation)

This would apply only to doors that open into unheated areas of the building so not likely you'd be wanting to leave those off.

At point of final inspection we had 2 internal doors not fitted. The doors were available and propped next to the doorways. Not a peep from BC.

A complete guess but if they're not fire doors I wouldn't think it matters.

I think it would be OK.

 

The sound regs are weird. I have to buy special sound proof glass for a fixed glass wall between rooms as it has to meet the same requirement as a wall. Yet, if it was a glass door it would not have to meet any regs as doors let loads of noise through the frames.

how does that work when strange people put the toilet and bath in the bedroom behind a 1200ish high wall?

In that situation it would all be considered as the same room rather than separate ones
