What our wired glass replacement service includes in South Yorkshire

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

Key checks for South Yorkshire projects

Priority areas

Doors, side panels and low-level glazing in busy corridors, sports halls and schools are usually replaced first.

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.

Phasing

We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.

Questions from South Yorkshire clients

What replaces wired glass?

Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.

Is wired glass dangerous?

When broken by impact it can cause serious cuts. That is why it is often replaced in doors and low-level positions.

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.
