Wired glass praised for fire resistance in various settings
The Philadelphia Fire Underwriters association reports wired glass can safely resist fire in skylights and external exposure windows. Wooden framed skylights with tin coverings perform best, while wired glass in wooden sash or fire doors can outfit elevator shafts and stair towers. In shafts lighted from the outside, brick or terra cotta or metal covered frames work well, and wired glass in fire shutters aids exterior fire detection.
