What our wired glass replacement service includes in Seaham
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.
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
How we work in Seaham

Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
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 rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
