Wire Glass Wire glass, as the name suggests, is simply two pieces of glass with a wire mesh in between. The two pieces, or lites, of glass are fused together during the manufacturing process to create a single, monolithic glass with properties useful where fire safety requirements apply.
Features:
The glass cracks but broken pieces tend to remain in the sashes rather than fall out, restricting the spread of flame and smoke.
When the glass is broken by the impact, fragments tend to remain in the sashes rather than fall out.
Applications:
Any fire rated assemblies (doors, windows).
