Q: Fire Code

Thanks Seaccs!

Not really. They need to have fire-rated glass, and need to meet safety glazing requirements if used in hazardous locations as outlined in the IBC. Doors are considered hazardous locations unless the opening wouldn't allow a 3" sphere to pass through it (there are other exemptions but they would not typically apply to your question). So while wired glass is traditionally acceptable for use as fire-rated glass, the code would not allow it being used in a door. Unless of course it can pass the requirements for safety glass. However, there are other fire-rated glazing products, and you wouldn't be limited to only wired glass.

Thanks Seaccs!

You're welcome. I'd recommend not editing the original post though. You're probably not the only one with this question but you've made it impossible for anyone to see what you asked by editing out the original question.
