What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Alfreton
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.
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.
Which rules apply to wired glass replacement in Alfreton?
England Which rules apply?
