Fire-Rated Glass Floors: what you get in Tyne and Wear
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.

- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights

Key checks for Tyne and Wear projects
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
