What our wired glass replacement service includes in Liverpool
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.

- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- Frame suitability checks
What you can expect in Liverpool

England rules applied

Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Liverpool identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Liverpool
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.
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.

Questions about wired glass replacement in Liverpool
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.
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.
Do you carry out wired glass replacement in Liverpool?
Yes. We survey and install in Liverpool and across Merseyside, including the L1 district and nearby Birkenhead.
Can you price wired glass replacement in Liverpool from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
