Before you order in Herefordshire
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.

Old frames may not have evidence for modern fire glass. We assess them and recommend frame replacement where the evidence cannot be established.
Priority areas
Doors, side panels and low-level glazing in busy corridors, sports halls and schools are usually replaced first.
Regulations for Herefordshire projects
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Wired Glass Replacement in Herefordshire: questions
Is wired glass dangerous?
When broken by impact it can cause serious cuts. That is why it is often replaced in doors and low-level positions.
What replaces wired glass?
Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.
Is it a legal requirement to remove wired glass?
There is no blanket ban, but glazing in critical locations must meet impact safety rules, and duty holders must manage the risk. Replacement is often the practical answer.
