Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →From the CH5 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glass floors for buildings across Hawarden, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Our Clwyd coverage takes in Hawarden (CH5) and the neighbouring towns of Deeside, Buckley, Chester. Hawarden lies roughly 16 km from Wrexham, within our Clwyd coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Wales, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Hawarden building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Hawarden budgets are not open-ended.
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Hawarden, including industrial units and schools and colleges.
Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
