Fire-Rated Glass Floors in Milton Keynes: what's included

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.

  • Steel support frames to the tested details
  • Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
  • Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
  • Anti-slip surface treatments within the system

What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Milton Keynes

Privacy

Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.

Rooflights

Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.

Load and fire together

A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.

Fire glazing rules in England

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.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
