glass wall between living room and lounge

[spanner202]

I’m looking at knocking down the wall between our living room and lounge, adding a lintel for support, and then having a glass wall with door. Pit falls? Building regs issues?

I don’t want anything on the glass, just clear and I want it all frameless and sleek. It looks like the only people supplying this are office partition fitters, and it’s very difficult getting a ball park price without a site visit which is tricky because I have not made the opening yet. I found https://www.glassatwork.co.uk/frameless-single-glazed-glass-office-partitioning-p-16.html which suggests about £2200 fitted but it's saying you have to have a film (some dots on the glass) for building regs.

Anyone else done this recently?

Manifestation only applies to non domestic buildings. No different to a patio door or whatever.

Check that you leave your house in no worse a state with regards to resistance of the spread of fire than it was before or the building works you'll be carrying out will be illegal and won't pass building inspection
