What to check before ordering fire glass replacement in Dronfield
Insulating glass lead times
EI glass is laminated to size, so it can take longer to supply than integrity glass. We give you a realistic date.
Discontinued products
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
