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.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Whether the building is in central Hampton or the wider TW12, KT8, TW11, KT7, TW13, TW16 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Hanworth, Sunbury-on-Thames, Walton-on-Thames. Hampton sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Hanworth.
We can phase work in Hampton around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Every quote in Hampton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Hampton budgets are not open-ended.
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 Hampton, including retail and leisure units and student accommodation.

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Survey timing in Hampton depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
