I am new to fire doors and am a little concerned whether it is contra to Health and Safety legislation to fit intumescent seals to the door of an occupied room?
I was just thinking, as I fit my first such door, that if I or any of my family was in the room and a fire started just OUTSIDE and activated the intumescent seals, the material would expand and, I reason, would seal the door tightly shut such that the occupants may be trapped in the room.
I am not happy.............
