WHEN WAS GEORGIAN WIRED GLASS INVENTED?Posted by freemexy on March 18th, 2021 WHEN WAS GEORGIAN WIRED GLASS INVENTED? Georgian Wired Glass was invented by Frank Shuman who first filed the patent for an embedding wire-netting in glass in 1982. Since this time, the process and drawbacks have remained largely unchanged. The 6mm thickness and optional clear or obscure finish create a straight replacement to most Georgian Wired Glass glazing.Water clear transparency: The smooth surface of PlasiaxTM Wire has optical transparency, making it ideal for vision panels or clear roof glazing as it allows light to pass through without being scattered. The obscure version is a very close visual match to the Pilkington Stippolyte pattern. Lightweight: Polycarbonate is less than half the weight of glass. This helps to minimise transportation costs, time of installation, and reduce loadings on glazing framework and structures. Weatherability: PlasiaxTM Wire comes with a ten-year limited warranty against UV discolouration and loss of impact so throughout this long lifespan you can be assured with product performance.Heat resistance and flammability: PlasiaxTM Wire has excellent temperature stability with no loss of property from -40˚C to 130˚C, making it secure for most locations around the globe. It complies with BS476 part 7 with a class 2 rating and European standard EN13501-1 with a B - s2, d0 rating as well as the ‘self-extinguishing' product classification. Like it?
