Key checks for Carrickfergus projects
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
Why replace it
Wired glass breaks into sharp pieces held by wire, and the wire weakens the glass. In doors and low-level panels it is a common source of hand and arm injuries.
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
