FENSA REGULATION

[jmad]

I believe that there is a regulation that states if the measusurement from the floor is less than 800mm then you need to install toughened glass. Is this measurement to the sill or the actual glass itself?

Any know?

Haha, glad to see you're paying attention! Its any glazing from FFL up to 800mm above FFL. I assume you're not talking about a glazed door or its side panels, if you are the level would be 1500mm. Page 7 (in the document) diagram 1 http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADN_1998.pdf

Having all these regulations is a pain in the neck, until you have seen people lose the use of their hand as a result of falling through a sheet of glass, severing the nerves and tendons in the wrist.
