- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass

Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
Priority areas
Doors, side panels and low-level glazing in busy corridors, sports halls and schools are usually replaced first.
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.
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
