Wired glass, also known as Georgian wired glass, was invented by Frank Schuman. During the manufacturing process, the steel mesh is placed in the glass. The wire mesh acts as reinforcement. If the glass breaks on impact, the glass shards are held in place by steel wires.
Clear wire-patterned glass has high fire performance because it will not break when exposed to fire. Because of this characteristic, it is also called fire-resistant glass or fire-resistant glass. Therefore, wire glass windows are preferred over float glass windows in areas prone to fire. Wire mesh is available in square mesh and diamond mesh.
