What our fire-rated glass floors service includes in Wiltshire
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
- Tested walk-on fire-rated glass floor systems
Key checks for Wiltshire projects
Sizes are limited
Tested floor panels have maximum spans. Larger openings are divided by a supporting grid.
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.

Questions from Wiltshire clients
Can a glass floor be fire-rated?
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.

R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Can we see through it?
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
Do you cover all of Wiltshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Wiltshire, including Swindon and Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
