What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Glasgow

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.

  • Handover evidence
  • Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
  • Coordination with the structural engineer
  • Steel support frames to the tested details

Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.

Privacy

Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland

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.

Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Glasgow building types

We can survey and quote for schools and colleges, blocks of flats and other building types in Glasgow.
