Wired glass

[micro-edge]

We have a school with 1300 sq ft of single pane annealed wired glass that they want done..We got the job, told the custy that the manu's don't recommend tinting wired glass and we're concerned of possible glass breakage but if we don't take the job another company said they would do it..They don't care for the windows to be too dark just want to block heat and some glare, think something like silver 35 would be ok to use?? Biggest windows are around 20 sq ft..

Gonna sound like microwave pop corn with all that glass breaking

Seriously, called our glass guy and he said its some of the strongest glass made.. Grrr,this sux

strong against breaking through, but what about thermal shock?

I remember being told that the wire makes for un-even heat and also rough edges.

Should be okay with Silver 35, I've done SW windows with Silver 20 with no issue after 5-6 years.

I suspect you will see some break though. That's a bit much is sq footsies.

Better off put an exterior film on.

Exterior film reduces the chances of breakage?

I would contact my insurance agent and add a rider for all the 'un-warrantied' broken glass. When all the wires heat up, alot of glass will pop!!!

Exterior film reduces the chances of breakage?

The heat is reflected and/or absorbed before it sees the wires.

So the wires expand inside the glass and cause it to break?
