Fire-Rated Glass Floors: what you get in Cheshire
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
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system

Before you order in Cheshire
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Regulations for Cheshire projects
England Which rules apply?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

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.

Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
Do you cover all of Cheshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Cheshire, including Warrington and Chester, Crewe, Ellesmere Port, Widnes, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
