Fire safety and structural risks in asbestos-free Green Home Remodeling
Doors that are reused in asbestos-free Green Home Remodeling require a fire safety rating to avoid structural risks and other dangers.
Used lumber intended for structural applications must be professionally re-graded to meet local building codes. When in doubt, choose salvaged lumber for non-structural applications such as interior non-bearing walls, flooring, cabinets, or trim. Timbers of sufficient size may not need re-grading.Doors in some applications require a fire rating. Used doors must be inspected on a case-by-case basis if they are being specified for an application where the code requires a fire rating.
