Key checks for Shrewsbury projects
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glass floors in Shrewsbury?
England Which rules apply?
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.
