Wired Glass

A cost-effective approach to fire protection for up to 45-min ratings, clear annealed and textured patterned wire glass is available with a diamond or square wire mesh embedded into the substrate. Upon breakage, the wire mesh will hold the glass in place to help prevent the spread of smoke and flames. It is not designed for impact-rated safety glazing applications unless filmed or laminated.
