(High Temp) TEMPERED GLASS
HIGH STRENGTH GLASS FOR FIREPLACE DOORS
(For woodstove and wood burning inserts please contact us)

Home | Services |Fireplace Accessories | Innerchange Magazine | Timeshare

Tempered glass is regular glass that has been heat treated to increase the strength, increase the thermal shock and prevent personal injury by changing the breakage pattern. Tempered glass is used in fireplace doors on masonry and pre-fabricated fireplaces equipped with a grate to hold the burning wood.  Tempered Glass is also used in other applications where heat, mechanical strength and safety are a factor. If you have a woodstove or insert doors this glass will not work. scroll to bottom of page. Tempered can be use in gas inserts or direct vent, if the breakage pattern is small bits not large shards. 

The breakage pattern of tempered glass is very different from regular glass. Regular glass breaks into long splinters.  Tempered glass will fragment into small bits and the entire glass will fragment. (most of the time) Most regular fireplace doors use a tempered glass material for heat resistance.

There should be at least 4 inches between the front of the grate and the glass. Tempered glass has a thermal shock rating of 400 degrees and will break if exposed to direct contact with flame. Thermal shock rating mean if the temp raises faster than 400 deg in a short period of time the glass can break. Most fires start slow and build which is fine for tempered.

Available in thickness of  1/8 - 3/16 - 1/4 inch 
Colors: Clear, Bronze, and Light Gray Smoked 

Tempered glass is also widely used for shelves in china cabinets, glass display cases, top of fish tanks,  and any where you need a strong, flat, clear surface to place item for viewing.
