Replace damaged or broken glass on a Waterford Firefront stove with this custom-cut ceramic replacement glass. Measuring 12 3/8" wide by 8 15/16" high and 3/16" thick, this glass features a subtle amber tint and is manufactured to withstand temperatures up to 1250°F.

Ceramic glass is designed for high-temperature stove applications where the glass may be exposed to flames and rapid temperature changes. It resists thermal shock and can withstand up to three times the heat of tempered glass.

Key Features:

• Custom-cut ceramic replacement glass for the Waterford Firefront
• Measures 12 3/8" wide x 8 15/16" high
• 3/16" glass thickness
• Withstands temperatures up to 1250°F
• Subtle amber tint
• Designed to resist extreme temperature changes and thermal shock
• Suitable for high-temperature wood, coal, and pellet stove applications

Important Information:

Proper installation clearance is essential. Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion around the replacement glass. Insufficient clearance can cause the glass to expand against surrounding components and break.

Mounting screws and other metal hardware also expand when heated. Do not overtighten mounting hardware against the ceramic glass.

Ceramic glass should not be substituted for tempered glass in fireplace doors unless the appliance or masonry door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Do not install ceramic glass 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 changing glass types.

FAQs:

Q: What are the dimensions?
A: The glass measures 12 3/8" wide x 8 15/16" high and is 3/16" thick.

Q: Why does the glass need installation clearance?
A: Ceramic glass expands as it heats. At least 1/8" of clearance should be provided so the glass can expand without pressing against surrounding components.

Q: Should the mounting hardware be tightened firmly against the glass?
A: No. Metal mounting hardware also expands when heated, so overtightening can contribute to glass damage.

Q: Can this ceramic glass replace tempered fireplace-door glass?
A: Not automatically. Do not replace tempered glass with ceramic glass unless the fireplace or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Check the appliance owner's manual before changing glass types.
