Hello guys
Im nearing the end of the partitioning in my loft conversion, and will have the private building inspector down next week for his first visit to check out the steel beams, purlin supports, rigid insulation etc
There will be 2 bedrooms, a shower room and an office. For the new loft bedrooms il be having fire doors. However the problem may be the hallway downstairs leading to the front door.
Ive got some nice wooden doors on the first floor 3 bedrooms, and living room downstairs. I really dont want to change these 4 doors to firedoors if it can be avoided.
I'll be having interlinked smoke alarms on all 3 floors, 2 on landings and 1 in downstairs hallway. I was potentially considering also having interlinked smoke alarms INSIDE the 3 bedrooms on the first floor as well as an interlinked smoke alarm in the living room to avoid having to change all these doors. Plus i was thinking of varnishing these doors using fireproof varnish (Thermoguard Fireproof Varnish 30 minutes).
With the interlinked smoke alarms and fireproof varnish, would i be able to avoid changing the existing solid wood doors?
