What's involved with wired glass replacement in Horsham
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.
