BMC disallows fixed glass facades

Comments(2) Sub Category:Mumbai,Municipality Posted On: Sep 12, 2012

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to disallow fixed glass sheets on facades.

The decision has come on the wake of last week’s blaze at a commercial building in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), where the firemen found it difficult to access the affected portion from outside in case of buildings with fixed glass facades.

Municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte has asked the building proposal department and the fire brigade department to draw up guidelines on facades and allow only glass exteriors that can be dismantled. All the suggested changes have to be incorporated in the fire safety norms to be followed for a particular building.

The fire brigade will inspect buildings that already have full glass facades and suggest changes that have to be carried out to ensure the safety of those buildings.
