What's involved with wired glass replacement in Workington
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.

- New beads and seals to the frame evidence

- Frame suitability checks
Key checks for Workington projects
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.
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
