What's involved with wired glass replacement in Sandhurst
Wired glass replacement means removing old Georgian or polished wired glass from doors, screens and panels and fitting modern fire-resistant glass that keeps the fire rating while meeting today's impact safety expectations. Wired glass holds together in a fire because of the mesh, but plain wired glass usually lacks an impact safety classification and can cause serious injuries when broken by impact.

What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Sandhurst
Fire rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
Frame checks
Old frames may not have evidence for modern fire glass. We assess them and recommend frame replacement where the evidence cannot be established.

Wired Glass Replacement: Sandhurst questions
Is it a legal requirement to remove wired glass?
There is no blanket ban, but glazing in critical locations must meet impact safety rules, and duty holders must manage the risk. Replacement is often the practical answer.
Is Georgian wired glass fire-rated?
It can provide integrity in the right frame, typically for 30 minutes and sometimes longer in tested systems, but it does not insulate, and plain wired glass usually lacks an impact safety classification.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Sandhurst?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out wired glass replacement in Sandhurst?
Yes. We survey and install in Sandhurst and across Berkshire, including the GU47 district and nearby Crowthorne.
