Fire-Rated Glass Floors in Birkenhead: what's included
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.
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
- Handover evidence
- Steel support frames to the tested details
Before you order fire-rated glass floors: what matters
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.

England Which rules apply?

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.
