What's involved with fire glass replacement in Portslade

What to check before ordering fire glass replacement in Portslade
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.
Interim arrangements
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.
