What our wired glass replacement service includes in Hartlepool
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.

What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Hartlepool
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.
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.

When broken by impact it can cause serious cuts. That is why it is often replaced in doors and low-level positions.
