What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in Sudbury
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.
- Handover evidence
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Sudbury
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.

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.
