What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Eltham
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.
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
- Coordination with the structural engineer
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
Before you order fire-rated glass floors: what matters
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glass floors in Eltham?
England Which rules apply?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
