Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →From the OL3 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glass floors for buildings across Saddleworth, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Whether the building is in central Saddleworth or the wider OL3, OL4, OL5 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Oldham, Royton, Stalybridge. Saddleworth lies roughly 17 km from Manchester, within our Greater Manchester coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Saddleworth building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Saddleworth around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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 Saddleworth, including schools and colleges and offices.
Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Building work in Saddleworth follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
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.
