Wired Glass Replacement in Newtownards: what's included
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.
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Frame suitability checks
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- 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.
Priority areas
Doors, side panels and low-level glazing in busy corridors, sports halls and schools are usually replaced first.
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.

Fire glazing rules in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland Which rules apply?
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.
Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.
Sectors we cover in Newtownards
