Key checks for Forth Valley projects
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Scotland rules for fire glazing
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
