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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Lichfield building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Lichfield, including the WS13, WS14 districts, and in nearby Burntwood, Tamworth, Aldridge. Stoke-on-Trent, around 43 km from Lichfield, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
We can survey and quote for care homes, schools and colleges and other building types in Lichfield.
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Yes. We survey and install in Lichfield and across Staffordshire, including the WS13 district and nearby Burntwood.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
