Position of wired glass in the 2004 IBC Supplement ( July 2006 )
Wired glass still remains the top-performing fire-rated glazing material in the United States. Unfortunately, it has fallen victim to a weakness that exists in our code development process. For at least the last 10 years, competitors have sought to increase market share by reducing the areas where the codes allow wired glass to be used. Without regard to whether any technical support existed, code officials at the International Code Council’s Final Action Agenda in May at Overland Park, Kansas, said, "Ten years of debate is enough," and voted to adopt S85-03/04, further restricting the permissible use of wired glass in hazardous locations.
