Rated systems, not just rated glass

Honest about unknowns

Key checks for Runcorn projects
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Interim arrangements
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
