What our wired glass replacement service includes in Wigan
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

What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Wigan
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.
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.

When broken by impact it can cause serious cuts. That is why it is often replaced in doors and low-level positions.
