EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →From the BS23 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glass floors for buildings across Weston-super-Mare, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Coverage around Weston-super-Mare includes the BS23, BS22 districts and nearby Burnham-on-Sea, Clevedon, Penarth. Weston-super-Mare is about 43 km from Bath, the largest town in our Somerset coverage.

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.
