Introduction
Glazed floors expand what’s possible in today’s architecture by offering greater design freedom, transparency, and access to natural daylight. Fire rated walk-on glass and fire rated glass floors provide durability and strength equivalent to traditional opaque materials, meeting load-bearing glass floor requirements while creating the impression of a larger space and enabling daylight to flow between levels. For enhanced safety, options include fire resistant flooring and fireproof flooring combined with anti-slippery glass floors. Vetrotech’s fire-rated glass solutions are ideal for buildings that demand superior fire performance while ensuring comfort and well-being for occupants.
Performance
Vetrotech’s fire-rated glass floors and fire rated walk-on glass prevent the circulation and spread of flames, hot smoke, and toxic gases within buildings, especially from one floor to another, enabling fire compartmentalization. These fire rated glass floor systems meet classifications from EI30 up to EI120, ensuring integrity and insulation for up to two hours. Combined with load bearing glass floors, anti-slippery glass floors, and options for fire resistant flooring or fireproof flooring, they maintain stability (R) and fire-resistant capabilities during a fire event, enabling safe evacuation. All glazing materials are tested and certified according to European norms, providing peace of mind for building owners and occupants.
Do you know LITE-FLOOR?
LITE-FLOOR is a laminated safety glass engineered for load-bearing glass floor applications such as floors, stairways, and footbridges. Slip resistance can be added through acid etching (SATINOVO) or screen printing (SERALIT and XTRAGRIP).
- Safe and walkable by conforming with EN 18008-5
- Customizable with features such as colours and patterns
- Available with slip-resistant treatments
- Possibility to combine with fire or blast resistance
