Fire-Rated Glass Floors in Swadlincote: what's included
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.
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights

What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Swadlincote
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
