For decades, traditional wired glass was perceived as a safe product because the embedded wire gave the impression that it was strong.  In reality, wired glass is weaker than annealed glass.  When broken, the prickly wires and shards of glass trap the limbs of those unfortunate enough to penetrate it.  Wired glass is the most commonly used fire rated glazing product in educational facilities.  As a result, students comprise the majority of wired glass injury victims.

This video documents how a San Francisco school eliminated the danger of accidental impact with unsafe wired glass by using clear and affordable solutions that met the highest federal impact safety standard (CPSC Cat. II) and provided additional protection from dangerous radiant heat.
