What's involved with wired glass replacement in Croydon
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
- Frame suitability checks
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- Survey of existing wired glazing
Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
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.
Fire rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
