Evidence you can file

England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Before you order fire-rated glass floors: what matters
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.

Fire-Rated Glass Floors: Hitchin questions
What does REI mean?
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Can we see through it?
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
How quickly can you survey in Hitchin?
Survey timing in Hitchin 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Hitchin?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
