What to check before ordering in Staffordshire

Fire rating

Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.

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.

Regulations for Staffordshire projects
