How we work in Bridgend
Wales rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Wales, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Bridgend identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Bridgend around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Bridgend
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.

Wales regulations that shape the job
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Sectors we cover in Bridgend

Fire-Rated Glass Floors: Bridgend questions
Can we see through it?
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Bridgend?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Bridgend?
Bridgend is in Wales, where the Welsh Approved Document B applies to building work and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers occupied premises.
