Cracked Class in Log Burners:
Why it Happens and Staying Safe
The two most common causes of cracked glass are impact & use.
Impact
Impact damage often comes as a result of force, such as:
- If you’ve overloaded the firebox with logs for fuel, you may have knocked the stove glass into a log protruding from the box, resulting in the glass cracking.
- Glass hit from the outside by a heavy object can also result in cracks.
Usage
Although wood burners are extremely sturdy due to the materials they are manufactured with, overuse can still end up damaging your stove.
- Burning household coal in the enclosed space of a wood burning stove can result in volatile mini-explosions, the force of which can crack the glass on your stove’s door.
- Overfiring can happen when the stove gets too hot, which in turn can crack the glass on the door of the stove.
Is it safe?
If you do not replace the glass of your wood burning stove, you run the risk of it completely shattering the next time you fire it – higher temperatures will almost always worsen a crack in the glass.
This could have dangerous consequences for your home, so our team at Shard End Glass would recommend you have the glass replaced as soon as you notice a crack.
How to Replace the Glass in Your Wood Burning Stove
- Clean the door of your wood burner, which makes the glass removal an easier process.
- Remove the door, as this will make it far easier to access the screws holding the glass in.
- Release the cracked glass by loosening the screws or bolts.
- Replace and reseal your new glass panel.
Alternatively, you can order a replacement glass window for your log burner cut to size for your requirements from Shard End Glass.
