What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in Perth
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.
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights
- Handover evidence
- Coordination with the structural engineer
Before you order fire-rated glass floors: what matters
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
