I was planning to fit a glass door but I suspect they aren't classed as fire doors... http://www.flora-glasdesign.de/

[/quote] I suspect not, but I'm no expert. The only time I know when one must be installed is when there is an habitable room in the attic.

Looks like the verdict is they don't need to be fire doors. I've also seen a recently built house in a magazine that has arches and no door between kitchen and living room.
