Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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 floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
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.

R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
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.
