Floorguard Triple-lite™
Lighter Weight Glass Floors

Triple-Lite™ is the architecturally designed way to bring light and space into the darkest recesses of a building. Combining the strength and individuality of modern glass construction, Triple-Lite™ is a statement of glass in architecture.

A glass floor relies on providing the correct panel thickness with appropriate supporting structures.

Our design packages offer a range of steel, glass or timber supporting structures and a various glass surface finishes.

We strongly recommend that all specifications are assessed in accordance with BS6399 Pt1. Consideration should be given to concentrated and uniform loads applied to mechanically loaded floor systems. We suggest that these applied loads should be provided by the project engineer and be specific to each application.

:: Table 1 - Maximum applied loads for 34mm Triple-lite™

Application	Concentrated Load (kN)	Uniform Distributed Load (kN/M2)
Domestic	1.4	1.5
Dance Floor	3.6	5.0
Commercial	4.5	5.0

A table of generically applied loads is shown below. The relevant loads applied will determine the construction and the unsupported span of each Triple-Lite panel.

:: Table 2 - Span loadings for 34mm Triple-lite™

Span	Safe Load Short (kN/m2)	Safe Load Medium (kN/m2)	Safe Load Long (kN/m2)	Deflection (mm)	Safe Load with one leaf broken (kN/M2)
600	88	66	44	1.0	22
900	40	29	19	2.0	14
1200	22	16	11	3.6	5
1500	14	10	7	5.6	3

The above test data can be applied to two edge supported applications, however, we strongly recommend that all applications are four edge supported. Two edge supported systems are available on application.

The strength of the supporting structure is essential to ensure the integrity of the finished structure. The deflection of the support should be less than the allowable deflection of the finished glass system i.e. not exceed L/125.It is essential that Triple-Lite™ floor panels rest on a perimeter platform not less than 30mm wide and glass to steel contact is avoided using a range of appropriate gaskets and sealants supplied with our system.

Triple-Lite™ Surface Finishes

To enhance our Floorguard Triple-Lite™ glass panels we offer a range of surface finishes to provide privacy and slip resistance. Illustrated are screen printed designs available in a range of RAL compatible colours and sandblasted decorative designs with or without maintenance coatings.

:: Table 3 Surface Finish Coefficients

A guide for acceptable slip co-efficients should be obtained from the project engineer (the above SATRA test results are available in full on request).
