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.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Whether the building is in central Earley or the wider RG6, RG2, RG41, RG5, RG1 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Reading, Wokingham, Crowthorne. Reading, around 5 km from Earley, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Every quote in Earley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Earley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Sector guides below cover care homes, schools and colleges and other buildings in Earley.
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
Survey timing in Earley depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
