Wired Glass Replacement in County Down: questions

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.

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.

What replaces wired glass?

Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.
