Fire-Rated Glass Floors: an overview for Kent
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.

- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems

What to check before ordering in Kent
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.
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Regulations for Kent projects
England Which rules apply?
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.

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.
Can a glass floor be fire-rated?
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
Do you cover all of Kent?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Kent, including Maidstone and Gillingham, Chatham, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
