What our wired glass replacement service includes in Cowes
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.
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
