Wired glass


Category: Laminated glass

Wired glass is also known as shatter-resistant glass. It’s made by heating ordinary flat glass to a red-hot, softened state, then pressing preheated steel wires or wire mesh into the center of the glass. This type of glass boasts excellent fire resistance—it can block flames and won’t shatter under high-temperature exposure. Plus, even if broken, it won’t produce sharp fragments that could cause injury. Additionally, it offers strong anti-theft performance: if someone tries to cut through the glass, the embedded wire mesh will provide an extra layer of protection. It’s primarily used in skylights and balcony windows.

Product Details

  Wired glass is also known as shatter-resistant glass. It is produced by heating ordinary flat glass to a red-hot, softened state, then pressing preheated steel wires or wire mesh into the center of the glass. This type of glass boasts excellent fire resistance—it can block flames and remains intact even under intense heat—and, when broken, it doesn’t splinter into sharp fragments that could cause injury. Additionally, it offers strong anti-theft performance: even if the glass is cut, the embedded wire mesh provides a formidable barrier. Wired glass is primarily used in skylights and balcony windows.

  Wired glass is also known as shatter-resistant glass or steel-wire glass. During the rolling production process, a mesh is pressed into a semi-liquid glass ribbon to form this specialized type of glass. Its key advantages include significantly higher strength compared to ordinary glass. When subjected to impact or sudden temperature changes, wired glass breaks without splintering—cracking rather than shattering—and the fragments remain largely intact, preventing sharp-edged pieces from flying off and causing injury. Additionally, in the event of a fire spreading, wired glass retains its structural integrity even when heated to the point of cracking, effectively helping to contain the flames. This is why it’s also referred to as fire-resistant glass. However, a notable drawback is that during production, the high-temperature radiation can easily cause oxidation of the wire mesh, potentially leading to yellowish "rust-like" spots and bubbles on the glass surface. Despite these challenges, wired glass is commonly used in skylights, ceiling coverings, and doors and windows that are prone to vibration.
