All Types of Wired Glass Available
Wired Glass is known for its integrity. Its fire resistant nature allows it to be used as a low-cost alternative to fire-resistant glass. The wire mesh does not improve its impact resistance, but it ensures that when the glass breaks, the broken pieces of glass are retained by the wire mesh as much as possible and do not fall out.
Steel wire mesh is placed in the glass during the manufacturing process to create a wired glass. The wire mesh is available in square grids as well as diamond grids. It has high resistance to thermal and electric shock as compared to float glass. Use wired glass and make your place more safe.Request a Quote

Though Wired Glass is not a perfect safety glass as per modern standards, it has many advantages over normal glass. Due to the wire net present in the glass, wired glass blocks fire and prevents someone from entering the building to some extent. When wired glass breaks through impact, the fragments of glass stick to the wire mesh and hence reduce the danger from sharp glass pieces.
Wired glass is less expensive as compared to other safety glass such as laminated glass, so it is used as a cheaper alternative to fire-rated glass. You can use wired glass in more ways than you can think of. Talk to our glass experts for more information. We are available at +1 732-901-2626.
Best Places to Use Wired Glass
Wired glass can be used for both internal and external purposes. This type of glass fits well in most frames including fire doors and screens. When broken, the wires hold most of the glass together, making it a safe choice. Some of the use cases of wired glass are listed below.
- Interior Glass Partitions
- Fire Doors and Screens
- Framed Doors and Windows
- Overhead Glazing
- As part of Double Glazed Units
Why is Wired Glass Fire Resistant?
Fire-rated glass is that type of glass which provides an effective barrier to fire, smoke & hot gases in case of a fire disaster. Wired glass, due to the wire mesh present in it, provides a level of safety against fire. When it breaks, the glass pieces hold on to the wire in it and cause less damage.
Though the latest fire safety standards don't consider wired glass as a proper fire-rated glass, you can still use it as a low-cost alternative to other safety glass such as Specially Tempered Glass.
