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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Stanford-le-Hope building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Stanford-le-Hope around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
Old frames may not have evidence for modern fire glass. We assess them and recommend frame replacement where the evidence cannot be established.
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
