What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Sunderland
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
- Coordination with the structural engineer
- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system
- Horizontal fire-rated rooflights

What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Sunderland
Slip resistance
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
Programme
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
