Please note that all replacement stove glass supplied by us is heat resistant but IS NOT tempered (toughened) and is therefore unsuitable for use as a hearth or in any other instance where pressure is applied.
Breakages
Stove glass breakages can occur for any number of reasons, from both inside and outside force; oversized logs, over tightened clips and the burning of inappropriate fuels (such as treated wood) are all common causes for breaks and cracks.
Always follow your manufacturer's instructions for sealing method and rope diameter, do not use fire cement, silicone sealant, or anything that does not allow for expansion. Failure to follow these instructions could result in pressure being applied due to heat expansion, which may cause your glass to crack.
Can I change the stove glass myself?
The simple answer is yes, as long as you are competent and take all necessary precautions required when dealing with glass, in order to avoid injury. You can follow our step by step guide to fitting stove glass, which explains the do's and don'ts of fitting your stove glass.
