Designed for high-temperature stove applications, this ceramic glass withstands temperatures up to 1250° and resists the rapid temperature changes associated with thermal shock. Ceramic glass can withstand up to three times the heat of tempered glass.

Before ordering or installing, verify your stove model and carefully compare the required glass dimensions with the measurements listed below.

Important Information:

Ceramic glass requires room to expand as it heats. Allow at least 1/8" of clearance for thermal expansion. Insufficient clearance can place stress on the glass and may cause it to break.

Mounting screws and other metal hardware also expand when heated. Do not overtighten the glass-retaining hardware during installation.

Do not substitute ceramic glass for tempered glass in a fireplace door unless the appliance or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Ceramic glass should never be installed in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the unit is heater-rated and approved for this type of glass. Always consult the appliance owner's manual before replacing the original glass type.

FAQs:

Q: Is this tempered glass?
A: No. This product is ceramic glass intended for high-temperature stove applications.

Q: How much expansion clearance should I allow?
A: Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion to help prevent stress and breakage as the glass heats.

Q: Should the mounting hardware be tightened firmly against the glass?
A: No. Do not overtighten mounting hardware because metal components expand when exposed to high temperatures.

Q: Can I use this ceramic glass in a factory-built or prefab fireplace?
A: Not unless the unit is heater-rated and specifically approved for ceramic glass. Consult the appliance owner's manual before changing the original glass type.
