What's involved with wired glass replacement in Westminster
Schools, hospitals, housing blocks and older offices often still have wired glass in doors and corridors. We survey it, confirm what the frames can accept, and replace it with clear integrity or insulating glass that is compatible with the frame and carries an impact classification.
- Frame suitability checks
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
Key checks for Westminster projects
Fire rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
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.
