Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
Fire-rated glass floors and horizontal rooflights are specialist systems with limited sizes and tested frames. We supply and install them where the evidence matches your span, load and rating, and coordinate the structural support with your engineer.
We cover Newton Abbot and the surrounding postcode districts, including TQ12. Nearby towns we also serve include Torquay, Paignton, Exmouth. Plymouth, around 41 km from Newton Abbot, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
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.
