wired glass

Mesh-embedded window pane

Wired glass is glass with a mesh of thin wire embedded within it.

The wire reinforcement holds the glass together when it breaks, preventing dangerous shards from scattering.

It's commonly used in fire doors, skylights, and industrial windows where safety or fire resistance matters: The wired glass in the door cracked but stayed in place.
