For homes in Lytham St Annes with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Lytham St Annes, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
