What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in 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
- Handover evidence
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Steel support frames to the tested details
Key checks for Durham projects
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.

Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
