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.
Whether the building is in central Andover or the wider SP10, SP11 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Winchester, Newbury, Salisbury. Andover lies roughly 35 km from Southampton, within our Hampshire coverage.
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
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.
