I really hope this isn't the way this is solved.
- handrous 5y agoConstruction fire code changes all the time. The ones around here specifically for attached garages have added more requirements within the last decade or so, for instance.
- Arrath 5y agoBuilding code already mandated the garage being in a different/delayed 'fire envelope' than the habituated portion of my home when it was built, so at least in some jurisdictions we're already there. Thicker, fire resistant drywall. Spring-loaded fire doors to the main house that default to closed. No air vent passthrough from the garage to the house, and so on.
- jacquesm 5y agoI have an 8' separation between the two and it's all brick, that gives me a pretty safe feeling.
