Introducing our new hinged glass floor unit, featuring a sleek and modern handle system for an unobstructed view of the space below. Say goodbye to industrial-style pull handles and embrace a contemporary aesthetic.

Custom-Made Hinged Glass Floor Solutions

Our hinged walk-on glass floor systems are tailor-made to fit your floor openings. Each system includes a structural walk-on glass panel fully sealed within a gas-strut opening steel framework. The gas struts ensure easy assisted opening and safe, slow closing.

Made to Order

These hinged floor systems are made to order, custom-designed to accommodate your specific opening sizes. The dimensions you provide should correspond to the precise size of the floor recess. The frame will overlap your opening on all sides, offering self-supporting installation and built-in tolerance for optimal fitting. Hinged floor frames and glass typically require 6-10 weeks for completion, with economy and express options available. For immediate availability, explore our Stock Hinged Floors or consider an upgrade to our luxurious Electric Motorized Hinged Floor.

Frequently Asked Questions: Hinged Glass Floor FAQ

Our hinged walk-on glass trapdoor systems are ideal for basement doors, wine cellars, and storage display units. They are not designed for primary access to habitable rooms, and users should consider the intended application and risk management accordingly.

Please note that these frames are not watertight and should only be used internally, in dry areas.

Certifications & Standards

Our steel frameworks are fully UKCA certified  (a legal requirement) to BS 1090-2, and the glass is designed to a concentrated load of 2.0kN in accordance with BS EN 1991-1-1 2002. These hinged floors are structurally approved for domestic use. The required glass thickness may vary depending on size, location, building use, and structural support. If in doubt, consult a structural glass engineer. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure all purchased products meet their specific building control requirements.

Our non-slip treated glass goes above and beyond industry standards, achieving a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 68, far exceeding the minimum requirement of 36+ to be considered low slip risk in dry conditions.
