Key checks for Caerphilly projects
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Fire glazing rules in Wales
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
