Fireproof
Even if wired glass is broken, the wire or net can support the fragments, making it difficult to collapse and break. Even if the flame penetrates, it can block the invasion of flames and fire powder, and has the effect of preventing the spread and burning from the opening.
According to Article 64 of the Japanese Building Standards Law, fire doors are regulated. The opening of the outer wall must prevent the spread and burning of flames. The use of wired glass combined with the frame of the Type B fire door can be used as a Type B fireproof material.
Safety
Wired glass can prevent fragments from flying. Even if the glass is broken by external pressure such as earthquakes, storms, and impacts, the fragments are difficult to fly, so it is less likely to cause fragments to fly and injure people compared to ordinary glass.
Anti-theft
Ordinary glass is easy to break, so thieves can sneak in and carry out illegal activities, but wired glass is not. Even if the glass is broken, there is still a metal wire net working, so thieves cannot easily steal. This anti-theft property of wired glass gives people a sense of security psychologically.
Because there are metal wires or nets in the wired glass, the integrity of the wired glass is greatly improved. It can prevent the whole glass from breaking apart when it is destroyed, so it has certain fire prevention and safety effects. The disadvantage of wired glass is that it has poor perspective because there is a wire mesh inside, which interferes with the visual effect. Secondly, the metal wire exposed on the edge of the glass is easily corroded. The safety of wired and meshed glass is reflected in the fact that it can still maintain integrity when it is destroyed. The glass fragments will not be scattered under the pulling of the wire, reducing the harm to the human body. It can be used in skylights, roofs, indoor partitions and other occasions where fragments are likely to cause injuries. In addition, since wire mesh glass is not easy to penetrate, it also has a certain anti-theft effect when used for door and window glass. Mesh glass can also be used as a secondary fireproof material for doors and windows. Ordinary glass is easily broken and shattered by heat when a fire occurs, causing air flow and fire spread. Although wire mesh glass explodes in a fire, it will not collapse and penetrate due to the support of metal wires or meshes. It can maintain integrity to a considerable extent, prevent air flow, and have a good resistance to the spread of fire. Wired and mesh glass is also suitable for earthquake-proof occasions, such as buildings with high earthquake protection requirements and factories with industrial vibrations. Wired and mesh glass improves the brittle nature of flat glass and is a low-cost and widely used architectural glass.
