What's involved with fire glass replacement in Manchester
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.
- Making-safe of broken panes
- Identification of existing fire glass from marks
- Disposal of broken glass
- New seals and beads where needed
Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters
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.
