Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →From the BH25 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glass floors for buildings across New Milton, 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.
Whether the building is in central New Milton or the wider BH25 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Christchurch, Bournemouth, Hythe. Southampton, around 25 km from New Milton, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Every quote in New Milton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a New Milton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Sector guides below cover care homes, industrial units and other buildings in New Milton.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
Yes. We survey and install in New Milton and across Hampshire, including the BH25 district and nearby Christchurch.
Survey timing in New Milton depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
