Q. What is wired glass?

Answer

Frank Shuman developed wired glass often called Georgian wired glass. During production a steel wire mesh is embedded in the glass. In this case the wire mesh serves as a reinforcing element. Glass is reinforced with wire so that shards are kept in place in the event of breakage. Due to the fact that it remains intact when heated wired glass provides exceptional fire protection. Consequently it is sometimes referred to as fire-rated glass or fireproof glass. As a result wire glass windows are more popular than float glass windows in high-risk areas due to their increased resistance to the spread of flames. There are both square and diamond grid options for the wire mesh.
