Wired Glass Replacement in Worcester: what's included
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.
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- Impact-classified products for critical locations
- Modern clear integrity or insulating replacement glass
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence

What to check before ordering wired glass replacement in Worcester
Phasing
We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.
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.
Fire rating
Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.
