What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in Inverness
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.
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Inverness
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Inverness coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Inverness or the wider IV2, IV1, IV3 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Elgin, Perth, Aberdeen. Inverness is the main town we cover in Highlands and Islands.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.

Sector guides below cover retail and leisure units, blocks of flats and other buildings in Inverness.
