Title: wired glass
Post by: Pip on July 26, 2006, 04:27:38 PM

Is there a limitation on maximum size of wired glass in a door frame.I think it might be up to a max of 1.2m square , but may be less depending on what make of glass and the limit it has been tested too.

you also need to be careful how it is fixed. how thick the wire is etc etc.

Depends what period of fire resistance you're after.

You can get a much larger area for 30 minutes than the 1.2m2 that you are talking of.
(I'm assuming that by 'door frame' you mean something like a sidescreen?).   But do contact Pilks, they are really helpful.
