Wire glass - Amiiri glass (English spelling) wire glass

Japanese: 網入りガラス - あみいりガラス（英語表記）wire glass

Plate glass sandwiched between metal mesh or wire to improve impact resistance or fire resistance. The glass itself is of the same composition as ordinary plate glass, and is made by the rolling method (see the entry on plate glass). The metal used is an iron alloy stainless steel that has the same thermal expansion coefficient as glass. In addition to patterned plate glass, which has a pattern on the surface, there is also polished plate glass, which has been polished on both sides. Its thickness is 6.8 to 10 mm. [Yasui Itaru]

耐衝撃性あるいは防火性を高めるために，金属製の網あるいは線をはさみ込んだ板ガラス。ガラス自体は普通の板ガラスと同じ組成のもので，ロール法(〈板ガラス〉の項参照)で作られる。金属には，ガラスと熱膨張率をあわせた鉄合金ステンレス系が使用される。表面に模様を付けた型板ガラスのほか，両面を研磨した磨き板ガラスのものがある。厚さは6.8～10mmである。【安井至】
