What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Irvine
A fire-rated glass floor is a walk-on glazed floor panel, set in a tested support frame, that keeps both its load-bearing capacity and its fire resistance for a stated time. Because a floor carries load, its classification also includes R for load-bearing capacity alongside integrity and insulation.
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Handover evidence
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Coordination with the structural engineer
What every Irvine quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Irvine building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Irvine identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Scotland rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Scotland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
Irvine building types
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Irvine, including hotels and retail and leisure units.
