What's involved with fire-rated glass floors in Neath
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.

- Anti-slip surface treatments within the system

- Steel support frames to the tested details
What you can expect in Neath

Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Neath budgets are not open-ended.
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass floors in Neath
Rooflights
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.

Fire glazing rules in Wales
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
Sectors we cover in Neath
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Neath, including public buildings and schools and colleges.
