- Coordination with the structural engineer
- Steel support frames to the tested details
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Kendal
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.
Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.

How we work in Kendal
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Kendal building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Kendal identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Kendal budgets are not open-ended.
