Wire Guard Protection


We can supply and fit the new wire mesh guards to your church or just supply the guards made to templates you supply. 
All guards are supplied with fixing clips.

Material: 

The wire guards are made from 3mm steel woven wire or weld mesh on 6 or 8mm border steel, either galvanised steel or stainless steel and powder coated black.
​


Fixing Method:
The stained glass should be cleaned and re-pointed if required.
 
The wire guards are fitted by use of black powder coated stainless steel, galvanised steel or aluminium brackets.
 
Holes for the plastic plugs are drilled into the mortar joints, where practical, and the brackets fixed with stainless steel screws. 
This has proved to be a very successful method of protecting the stained glass, as each wire guard is individually shaped to fit the stone frame. There is little change to the appearance of the building after the windows have been protected.
 
The main disadvantages of using wire guards are that they can be visible from inside the building and thin sticks or gun pellets can fit through the gaps in the guards so the stained glass may still be damaged.

Site Locations of these photos are:

St Augustine's Church, Bolton Road, Pendlebury, Swinton, Manchester. Grade 1 Listed Building. Over 300 individual wire guards fitted.

The Priory and Parish Church of St Mary, Lancaster.
Lancaster Priory as it is more commonly known - overlooks the centre of Lancaster.  It is situated adjacent to Lancaster Castle in a conservation area with stunning views across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland Hills. The church is a Grade 1 listed building, located on a site which has seen Christian worship since Saxon times.
