Glass Flooring Systems specializes in complete walkable-skylights and glass-flooring systems. Our patented framing systems have a host of innovative features that fully address the shortcomings in traditional glass floors and skylights. As the industry leader in structural walk-on glass, we not only offer innovative walkable glass products, we provide an extensive array of glass-floor components and offer unbeatable product support.
Headquartered in Whippany, NJ, Glass Flooring Systems is a full-service manufacturing firm that designs, produces, assembles, and ships walkable skylights and glass-flooring products anywhere in the world. Why do we lead the industry? Because we not only design and build walkable glass systems, we've also had all our products independently tested and approved for listing with the NFRC, Energy Star, and Florida Product Approval. We do this to ensure we're providing superior quality and to make it as easy and seamless as possible for our products to be integrated into your designs.
We've brought many revolutionary glass-floor-design elements to market and we're constantly introducing innovative new features and solutions to the industry. In addition to our complete systems, we can also manufacture custom walkable skylight panels or glass flooring panels to complete your project with the best-quality glass in the industry. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Glass Flooring Systems offer superior components, comprehensive design and building support, and unmatched flexibility. Because we provide complete systems, there is no need to source individual components from various manufacturers to create a skylight or floor system. Together, all of these advantages result in products that are an unbeatable value.
Glass Flooring Systems isn't just a manufacturer - we're your partner, working together to ensure the result is exceptional.
every time.

EXECUTION
EXAMINATION
Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements for existing conditions, installation tolerances, and other conditions affecting performance of structural glass flooring.
Verify that substrates comply with tolerances and other requirements specified in other Sections.
Verify that a pitch of 1/8 inch per foot is achievable.
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
INSTALLATION
Install glass flooring in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and approved submittals and the following:
Do not use panels with chips, cracks, voids, discolorations, and other defects that might be visible in finished work.
Rigidly secure non-movement joints.
Install anchors with separators and isolators to prevent metal corrosion and electrolytic deterioration and to prevent impeding movement of moving joints.
Seal joints watertight.
Erection Tolerances: Install glass flooring systems to comply with the following maximum tolerances:
Alignment: Limit offset from true alignment to 1/16 inch where surfaces abut in line, edge to edge, at corners, or where a reveal or protruding element separates aligned surfaces by less than 3 inches; otherwise, limit offset to 1/8 inch.
Location and Plane: Limit variation from true location and plane to 1/8 inch in 12 feet but no greater than 1/2 inch over total length.
CLEANING AND PROTECTION
Protect structural glass flooring from damage during construction until date of Substantial Completion. Do not apply markers to the glass surface. Remove nonpermanent labels, and clean surfaces. Clean glass on both surfaces.
Remove and replace glass that is broken, chipped, cracked, or abraded or that is damaged during the construction period.
