Due to recent innovations, design professionals can now select fire-rated glass floor systems like TGP’s Fireframes ClearFloor® System for horizontal fire separations. These multifunctional systems can support demanding loads, act as a light-transmitting device, and defend against flames, smoke, and heat should a fire occur. Products are available with fire-resistance ratings up to two hours for interior applications. Additionally, some manufacturers offer glass floor color and texturing options to support aesthetic goals while maintaining adequate slip resistance and daylight admission.
Popular uses for fire-rated glass floor systems include lobby floors, atriums, corridors near exits, and other public egress areas at risk for fire progression, as well as for walkable skylights that transmit light deep into a building’s core.
