We often use the phrase “be careful” while handling glass materials for their tender behaviours. Once it is broken it will break into a thousand pieces of granular with sharp ends that can cause severe injuries. But relax; the wire glass has a number of metal wire that hold the glass from inside.
Wire glass is primarily made as fire resistant within thin wire mesh inlaid in the glass to prevent shattering and break out under pressure or when in high temperature.
It has a history of fire protection for more than 100 years.
Metal wires are often used in building projects to strengthen the whole infrastructure. Though it doesn’t happen same with the glass. The international building code has prohibited its use in hazardous places. So, Bear Glass has worked on it and made polished wire glass. Now a day it is common sight to use wire glass in hotels, schools, business organisations and many hazardous places. It’s an excellent way to partition the fire or heat. The wire inside prevents the falling out of the glass even if it is broken.
The fire rating of wire glass is 45 minutes in light sizes up to 9 square feet. Even it has undergone the fire hose stream or thermal shock test.
Moreover it is economically friendly comparing any other laminating glass.
Wire glass has a smart texture from inside that adds an extra beauty to the places where it has been used.
Why wire glass??
- Fire-proof safety:
Wired glass is suitable to be used as an efficient fire-proof material. Even wired glass is broken in the fire , the fragments will still connect with each other by the wire mesh, and not fall down, which prevent fire from spreading.
- Shock-resistant safety:
Even if the glass is broken, the tough interlayer wires prevents fragments from shattering.
- Translucent decoration:
Translucent and exquisite pattern outside, shining and regular mesh inside form its unique decorative property.
- Discoloration resistance:
It intercepts 99% or more of incoming ultraviolet rays, protecting furniture and furnishings near windows from discoloration caused by exposure to direct sunlight.
- Good sound insulation:
Reduce the transmission of sound from one room or area of a building to another or from the exterior to the interior of a building.
