What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Radcliffe
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.
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
