Wired Glass Replacement in Derry / Londonderry: what's included
Schools, hospitals, housing blocks and older offices often still have wired glass in doors and corridors. We survey it, confirm what the frames can accept, and replace it with clear integrity or insulating glass that is compatible with the frame and carries an impact classification.
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Frame suitability checks
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Derry / Londonderry
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.
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.
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
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.
