Hello everyone,
we had a residential building constructed in Hesse by a general contractor. A handover has not yet taken place. There is a connecting door between the building and a double garage. According to official regulations, this must be constructed as a T30-RS door, which was also part of the contract with the GC. The door has been installed in the meantime.
As usual, after closing the door, the floor seal drops down and closes with the transition strip, which is installed between the floor coverings inside the house (PVC) and in the garage (concrete).
However, on the hinge side, there is a gap in this floor seal. This seal starts only about 10-15 cm further towards the other side. Neither the GC nor the craftsman who worked on his behalf can explain why this is the case. When I darken the interior and have the garage open, I can see light shining through this gap. I conclude from this that smoke could also pass through there and that the door probably could not protect against smoke for 30 minutes.
Has anyone had experience with whether this is common, or where the fault might lie? Could the door have already been defective from the manufacturer? And what legal consequences would this have or what would be the consequences if this actually leads to fire damage?
Thank you very much and best regards!
