What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Cheltenham
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.

Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
