What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Rushden
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
- Steel support frames to the tested details
- Coordination with the structural engineer
- Handover evidence
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Rushden
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.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
