Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →From the TN13 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glass floors for buildings across Sevenoaks, 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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Sevenoaks, including the TN13, TN14 districts, and in nearby Tonbridge, Swanley, Royal Tunbridge Wells. Maidstone, around 23 km from Sevenoaks, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
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.
If an existing frame in a Sevenoaks building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Every quote in Sevenoaks identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Sevenoaks, including public buildings and hotels.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
Yes. We survey and install in Sevenoaks and across Kent, including the TN13 district and nearby Tonbridge.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
