Fire Regs one downstairs door

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know off hand regarding fire regs - is it possible to have one external door downstairs only (no other opening doors/windows downstairs). There will be 2 fire compliant windows upstairs in the bedrooms. It is just two storey.

Looking at the attached plan I am considering making the door opposite the stairs a non opener and so the only external door would be the one by the downstairs toilet.

 

cheers

Only looked at the Scottish regs but I think you'd be OK. Personally, I'd be happier if the living room window was an escape window, though, with the kitchen being nearer the main entrance than the living room.

Actually the living room window isnt going to be there as there is a building against that wall now. The Rooflight above the kitchen could be of a size to escape from though access would have to be from the worktops.

Kitchen open plan to stairs?

 

There is means of escape from each upstairs room. I would have heat detector in the kitchen and smoke detector in each bedroom, all mains and interlinked.
