What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Barrow-in-Furness
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
