What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in Highbury
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.
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Handover evidence
- Coordination with the structural engineer
Before you order fire-rated glass floors: what matters
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Sizes are limited
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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glass floors in Highbury?
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.
Highbury building types
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Highbury, including schools and colleges and public buildings.
