−	Wired glass (sometimes referred to as Georgian wired glass or GW glass) was ~~invented~~ by Frank Shuman in ~~1982~~.

The wire mesh does not improve its impact resistance, but it ensures that if the glass breaks, the broken pieces are retained by the wire mesh and do not fall out, which could create a hazard. It can also ensure glazing retains its overall shape, continuing to form a barrier even though it has broken.	+	Wired glass (sometimes referred to as Georgian wired glass or GW glass) was patented by Frank Shuman in 1892.

	Wired glass is less visually attractive and not as strong as laminated glass or toughened glass. There have also been safety concerns in relation to wired glass, as the shards of glass remain in place after breakage, which can cause injury. Alternatives include glass reinforced by a polycarbonate mesh which is lighter, easier to cut and more difficult to break.
