Fire-rated Glass

Wired glass is engineered with built-in fire protection. The steel wire mesh embedded within the glass holds the pane together under extreme heat, helping to prevent flames and smoke from spreading to adjacent areas. This makes wired glass a trusted solution in fire-rated doors, stairwells, corridors, and partitions, where building codes require strong fire-protective barriers. Its proven performance in international standards (UL tests) ensures compliance and safety for public and commercial buildings.

In the event of fire, explosions, or impact, ordinary glass can shatter and fall away, leaving openings that allow flames and smoke to spread. Wired glass offers superior fallout resistance because the wire reinforcement helps keep the glass fragments together, even when cracked. This ability to maintain a barrier during critical moments provides extra time for occupants to evacuate and for emergency responders to act, making it an essential feature for high-traffic public spaces.

Accidents happen—especially in busy environments like schools, hospitals, and transit facilities. Wired glass reduces the risk of dangerous glass shards when broken. Instead of collapsing into sharp pieces, the embedded mesh helps hold the glass in place, minimizing injury risk from accidental impact. This makes it a safer, more reliable choice for areas exposed to daily wear-and-tear, while still providing the visibility and natural light architects and designers value.
