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.
Whether the building is in central Craigavon or the wider BT62, BT65, BT64, BT66 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Portadown, Lisburn, Newry. Craigavon is the main town we cover in County Armagh.
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
Doors, side panels and low-level glazing in busy corridors, sports halls and schools are usually replaced first.
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.
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.

Wired glass replacement applies to many building types in Craigavon, including schools and colleges and retail and leisure units.
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.
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.
