Broken fire glass replacement is the repair of cracked, shattered or damaged fire-resistant panes with glass of a type the frame's evidence allows, refitted with the correct beads and seals. A cracked fire pane may not perform as tested, so it should be made safe and replaced promptly.
Every quote in Ashton-in-Makerfield identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Ashton-in-Makerfield building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
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.
