Bedrooms<br />

For hotels, each hotel bedroom is to be enclosed with one-hour fire resistant construction. This<br />

requirement is to protect against fire and smoke spreading into sleeping quarters and the risk of fire<br />

starting within the privacy of bedrooms and spreading to other parts of the building.<br />

As internal corridors are requisite means of escape, the internal corridor has to be compartmented<br />

from hotel bedrooms with one-hour fire rated compartment walls and half-hour fi re doors.<br />
