What to check before ordering fire glass replacement in Wigston
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.
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.
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
