Walk-on glass floors

Walk-on glass floors span openings between levels while carrying maintenance loads, furniture moves and occasional foot traffic declared on the engineer’s drawings. The build-up is a structural laminate with an anti-slip outer surface, set into a drained perimeter detail that ties into the waterproofing and insulation below.

They are used over basement stairs, kitchen extensions and gallery links where daylight is needed but the floor plane must stay usable. An insulating zone can sit beneath the structural walk layer on heated buildings, which means low-E placement and condensation calculations are done alongside the laminate thickness.
