Key checks for Devon projects
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.
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.

England rules for fire glazing
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Wired Glass Replacement in Devon: questions
Is Georgian wired glass fire-rated?
It can provide integrity in the right frame, typically for 30 minutes and sometimes longer in tested systems, but it does not insulate, and plain wired glass usually lacks an impact safety classification.
Is it a legal requirement to remove wired glass?
There is no blanket ban, but glazing in critical locations must meet impact safety rules, and duty holders must manage the risk. Replacement is often the practical answer.
What replaces wired glass?
Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.
