Wired Glass Replacement in Truro: what's included

- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Impact-classified products for critical locations

Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
Fire rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.

Fire glazing rules in England
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

FAQs for Truro
What replaces wired glass?
Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.
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 Truro?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Truro?
Survey timing in Truro depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
