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.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Whether the building is in central Yate or the wider BS37 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Mangotsfield, Kingswood, Bristol. Gloucester, around 38 km from Yate, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Yate budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Yate identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Yate around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Yate, including hotels and schools and colleges.
Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.

A survey in Yate confirms sizes, access, existing evidence and fixing conditions.
We set out the system, glass, evidence and programme, with a fixed price.
We install, photograph seals and fixings before closing up, and hand over the schedule.
Send sizes, photos of any glass marks or your inspection report and we will come back with the right tested system.
