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.
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
