Wired Glass Replacement in Dartford: what's included
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.
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- Frame suitability checks
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Survey of existing wired glazing
