What's involved with wired glass replacement in Northampton
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.
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
- Frame suitability checks

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
