What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in County Durham
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.
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
Before you order in County Durham
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Which rules apply 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.
Questions from County Durham clients
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.
How big can a fire-rated glass floor panel be?
Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
