Wired Glass Replacement in Canterbury: what's included
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
- Frame suitability checks
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- Impact-classified products for critical locations

What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Canterbury
Priority areas
Doors, side panels and low-level glazing in busy corridors, sports halls and schools are usually replaced first.
Frame checks
Old frames may not have evidence for modern fire glass. We assess them and recommend frame replacement where the evidence cannot be established.
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.

England Which rules apply?

Questions about wired glass replacement in Canterbury
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.
What replaces wired glass?
Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Canterbury?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Canterbury?
Survey timing in Canterbury depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
