Flat rolled glass reinforced with wire mesh and used especially
for glass doors and roofing to prevent objects from smashing through
the glass and also to hold pieces of broken glass together. By
holding the glass together, it can also protect against break-in
and the spreading of fire. Wired glass is produced by continuously
feeding wire mesh from a roller into the molten glass ribbon just
before it undergoes cooling.
Features :
- Fire resistance :
The glass is formulated for fire protection
performance. In case of fire, the glass cracks but broken pieces
tend to remain in the
sashes rather than fall out, restricting the spread of flame and
smoke.
- Fallout resistance :
When the glass is broken
by the impact, fragments tend to remain in the sashes rather than
fall out. The chance of shattering is therefore
less than that of float glass.
- Cost effectiveness :
Wired glass is one of the
most cost-effective glazing materials when fire protection is required
in windows, doors and partitions.
