FloorGlaze Glass Floor Dimensions Graph

The FloorGlaze F30 has a slightly complicated dimension graph due to the level of testing the panels undertook. However it must be remembered that these panels can be combined in a long run with no support required between them.

The FloorGlaze F60 dimension graph shows that the maximum panel size is either 1144mm x 2040mm or 1040mm x 2244mm.

The FloorGlaze DG and the FloorGlaze SG are available in much larger sizes and can also be combined in a long run with no support required between them.

The important factor when calculating the size of the panel is the unsupported span required, in other words the width of the opening you need to cover. The list below shows that the larger this width is, then the thicker the overall glass panel becomes.

2-Edge Support (residential):

  • Spans up to 1.2 metres = 2 x 12mm toughened and laminated.
  • Spans up to 1.5 metres = 3 x 10mm toughened and laminated.
  • Spans up to 1.8 metres = 3 x 12mm toughened and laminated.
  • Spans up to 2.0 metres = 4 x 10mm toughened and laminated.

The same principle applies to 4-edge supported panels. In these cases it is the total size of the opening that determines the overall thickness of the glass panel.

4-Edge Support (residential):

  • Openings up to 4 square metres = 2 x 12mm toughened and laminated.
  • Openings up to 6 square metres = 3 x 10mm toughened and laminated.
  • Openings up to 9 square metres = 3 x 12mm toughened and laminated.

Slightly different parameters apply to glass floors in commercial situations and these can be calculated on application.

Enter the number of floors that have exactly the same dimensions, specifications and perimeter configurations.

Enter the exact width in mm for the upper glass slab.

Enter the exact length (or span) in mm for the upper glass slab.

Choose the specification of the fire-rated performance. EI30 for 30 minutes insulation and integrity, EI60 for 60 minute insulation and integrity or choose a NON fire-rated specification.

Enter in KN the Design level of the Concentrated Load (CL) that needs to be allowed for in the calculations, to 1 decimal place.
For example the standard Domestic Concentrated load is 2.0 KN.

Enter in KN/m2 the Design level of the Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) that needs to be allowed for in the calculations, to 1 decimal place.
For example the standard Uniformly Distributed load is 1.5 KN/m2.

Is the floor to be situated internally or externally? If the floor is being used externally then there will be a soft coating required to lower the U-value in accordance to part L of the Building Regulations.

If the floor is being left clear or with a simple pattern of dots it might compromise your sense of privacy. Sandblasting will provide the privacy or a translucent resin can be used in the lower interlayer of the glass slab.

Instead of using standard glass in the upper slab this can be replaced with Low Iron glass. Low Iron glass will allow about 10% more light through the floor and will give a cleaner and whiter appearance.

Mark one of the boxes on each side to identify the type of perimeter detail that is required.

If the fire-rated material beneath the frame is not covered by the internal finishes then we suggest this is covered by a cosmetic flashing. This flashing will need to be trimmed and fixed on site after the floor has been fitted. The flashing can be in powder coated or silver anodised aluminium or in satin finish stainless steel.

The top surface of the glass can become slippery especially when wet. To resist this the glass can be consistently sandblasted or have a 10mm dot pattern fritted on the surface.
