Wired Glass Replacement in Surbiton: what's included
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.
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- Frame suitability checks
Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
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.
