• Free Guide To Part M And Thresholds

Hardware specialists, MI Products, has created a handy guide to help customers meet Building Regulations Approved Document Part M.

The guide includes information about the correct thresholds to use in order to meet the guidelines for accessibility.

 “We created the Guide to Thresholds and Part M as a crib sheet for fabricators and installers to refer to.”

– Ian Searle 

Director, MI Products

Compliance

“The Guide contains lots of information at a glance on what Part M is, how thresholds can comply with Part M, why Part M and accessibility is so important and who is responsible for compliance,” continues Searle.

Building Regulations

Approved Document Part M is a section in Building Regulations that contains guidance on accessibility to ensure that new build properties are suitable for those with disabilities.

“With more installers and fabricators working on new build projects, it means that they can refer back to one, easy to read, document," continues Searle. "They have peace of mind and reassurance that they are meeting regulations and the demands from architects and developers for accessible buildings.”

Easily accessible entrances

MI Products has developed the FX15 low door threshold which achieves a 15mm upstand without any extensions or ramps. This enables easily accessible entrances and exits for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. The FX15 threshold is also ideal for children and pushchairs.
