What's involved with wired glass replacement in Stevenage
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
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
Key checks for Stevenage projects
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.

Wired Glass Replacement: Stevenage questions
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.
Is Georgian wired glass fire-rated?
It can provide integrity in the right frame, typically for 30 minutes and sometimes longer in tested systems, but it does not insulate, and plain wired glass usually lacks an impact safety classification.
Do you carry out wired glass replacement in Stevenage?
Yes. We survey and install in Stevenage and across Hertfordshire, including the SG1 district and nearby Hitchin.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Stevenage?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
