Title: Heritage Buildings
Post by: bevfs on January 02, 2025, 11:32:18 AM

Morning all
Heritage doors in  regency period  building circa early 1820's
looking for any evidence of "self closing -type devices" fitted to heritage doorsets to improve the compartmentation in a heritage building, or alternative solutions .If there is any past reports published on such matters where the importance of fire compartmentation has outweighed the importance of heritage protection

any info would be welcomed

english heritage published some stuff on doors that might be worth looking at.  TBH heritage trumped compartmentation in Windsor Castle and Notre Dame.
