What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in Rhondda
Fire-rated glass floors and horizontal rooflights are specialist systems with limited sizes and tested frames. We supply and install them where the evidence matches your span, load and rating, and coordinate the structural support with your engineer.
- Coordination with the structural engineer
- Handover evidence
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
Key checks for Rhondda projects
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Fire glazing rules in Wales
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.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.

Fire-Rated Glass Floors: Rhondda questions
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.

Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
Do you carry out fire-rated glass floors in Rhondda?
Yes. We survey and install in Rhondda and across Mid Glamorgan, including the CF42 district and nearby Tonypandy.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Rhondda?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
