What our wired glass replacement service includes in Hove
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.
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Frame suitability checks
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
Fire rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
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.
Hove coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Hove, including the BN3, BN88, BN50, BN41, BN1 districts, and in nearby Brighton, Portslade, Burgess Hill. Hove lies roughly 2 km from Brighton, within our East Sussex coverage.
