Glass Floors, Glass Stairs and Rooflights

Glass used as a non-traditional material, such as glass floors, glass stairs and rooflights can achieve a contemporary design

GLASS FLOORS

Glass floors are a contemporary design solution when visibility or the transference of natural light is required across multiple levels or floors. We can provide specification advice on a range of glass floor products including structural glass floors, glass floor viewing panes or glass floor lights. Various design considerations should be made when specifying and installing glass floor products including; structural integrity, glass floor loadings, structural movement, impact resistance, thermal performance and anti-slip finishes for walk on glass floor structures. We can also advise on weather resistance for external glass floor applications. Our glass floors are available in multiple thick layers of glass to a heat soaked, toughened and laminated specification.

Glass floors in a residential or working environment can improve daylighting properties, increasing access to natural light and reducing required usage of artificial light. Improved access to natural light, as can be provided by increasing glass components, such as glass floors, can provide us with more Vitimin D and help support our natural circadian rhythms.

GLASS STAIRS

Structural glass stairs add a high end and clean, minimal feel to any setting. Glass stairs can be created in various forms whether using glass as the core material with minimal non glass fixings, incorporating glass stair risers, glass stair balustrades or as glass stair treads themselves. Similar to glass floor applications, particular attention should be given to loadings, structural integrity, movement and impact resistance with specialist anti-slip finishes applied to the glass stair surface.

Glass stairs, glass stair risers and balustrades can also be finished to a custom coloured or decorative specification.

ROOFLIGHTS

We can supply and install custom architectural rooflights as well as standard spec rooflights. High performance structural glass can be specified for the creation of non-standard rooflight structures. We have the ability to create bespoke multisided rooflights where a larger rooflight structure is desired.

Rooflights can help to conserve energy by reducing the need of artificial lighting sources. Rooflights are frequently incorporated in daylighting designs providing a good source of natural light filtration as well as ventilation. Our rooflights are installed to a high performance specification with considerations made for drainage, thermal performance, safety and security.
