Fire-Rated Glass Floors: an overview for Powys
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.

- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system

Before you order in Powys
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Which rules apply 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.
Fire-Rated Glass Floors in Powys: questions
How big can a fire-rated glass floor panel be?

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.
