However before doing so consider and check the following.
Internal garage fire door regulations.
If a garage is detached but within 3 feet of the residence any walls within 3 feet must have 1 2 drywall.
Fire ratings measure the amount of time that a door is able to contain the spread of fire as tested according to nfpa guidelines.
These are the only doors inside a dwelling that require self closing doors garage floors should also be sloping outwards or at least 100mm lower at these doors to prevent fuel spillage leaking in to the home.
For a typical two storey domestic home the building regulations require that where the property has an integral garage the door between the main property and the garage normally kitchen or utility should be a fd30 fire door 30 minute fire resistant and include smoke seals and self closing device it is also recommended that the garage floor be at least 100mm lower than that of the property to prevent any fuel spillage entering the main property.
The door from an integral garage into the house should be a fd30 self closing door ie 30 minutes separation.
When there is a living area habitable space above the garage the ceiling requirement ramps up to 5 8 type x fire rated drywall.
Only common walls between garage and house not perpendicular walls must meet this requirement.
There is nothing to say that you cannot have fire doors if you wish as many would prefer to take the extra safety measure to protect their family and home.
Internal doors to integral garages should be fd30 fire doors and include smoke seals and self closing devices.
This means a door with a two hour rating for example can be expected to resist combustion for two hours in the event of a fire.
