What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Berkshire
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
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
- Steel support frames to the tested details

What to check before ordering in Berkshire
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
England rules for fire glazing
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Questions from Berkshire clients
Can a glass floor be fire-rated?
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
What does REI mean?
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Can we see through it?
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
Do you cover all of Berkshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Berkshire, including Reading and Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Wokingham, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
