Hi,
My lounge currently has a very large window occupying most of one of the outside walls and a small opening one up high next to the large one.
I want to remove the small window and install a glass door opening out on to the garden. I have been trying to find out about building regs for this work. The main regs as far as I can see relate to the thermal properties and safety of the glass. This I can satisfy by buying a relevant door.
The other regs are disabled access, ventilation, means of escape and structure. Means of escape is ok because its a door. disabled access should be ok because it's a standard size.
What I'm not clear about is ventilation and structure. Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks,
Chris.
