    Is FENSA required on a door with less than 50% glazing?

    I have read on various websites that FENSA does not cover doors with less than 50% glazing. But I cannot find anything on FENSA's website that states this. All the text I can find on FENSA's site just refers to doors, with no mention of 50%. I have no doubt that you know the answer, but could...

    Our PVCu front door (installed 18 months ago) is not sealing and appears bowed. We informed the installer and he came round, accepted it was not sealed and made some adjustments. When he had completed the adjustments we could see that it was still not sealed. We tried to show it was not sealed...

    Front door not sealed

    I have read on this forum about using a piece of paper to check if a door is sealed, and it is quite clear that my front door is not sealing properly. (The draft on windy days also made it clear!) In fact it looks like the door is slightly bowed. The composite door was put in about 18 months ago...

    Moving internal door - does the new need to comply with recent fire regs?

    Would the fire resistance of the new door need to be in line with current requirements? Existing doors are all stained and waxed 6 panel pine, so it would look a bit odd to have a modern fire door there. Thank y'all kindly. Dain

What you see in the picture is a couple of door stops recently put down but not screwed down thankfully but neither of them help with stopping them hitting each other. Does anyone...
