Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →If a building in Nottingham needs fire-rated glass floors, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
Coverage around Nottingham includes the NG1, NG3, NG7, NG2, NG8 districts and nearby West Bridgford, Arnold, Hucknall. Nottingham is the largest town in our Nottinghamshire coverage.
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Nottingham budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Nottingham around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can survey and quote for retail and leisure units, public buildings and other building types in Nottingham.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Building work in Nottingham follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
