Wood burning stove glass

[Al Cormack]

We have a wood burner boiler stove that does 16kw to hearing and water and 4kw to the room.

 

We seem to be getting more heat to the room now after having to replace the glass due to a manufacturing fault.

 

Are there different types of heat reflective glass, some better than others?

 

It's a fairly large Woodfire inset stove and the glass size is 640x480mm.

 

Cheers...Al

Can you modify it so it's double glazed? Quite a few stoves now have double glazed glass and its pretty simple by the looks of it. Just two sheets of glass separated by some thin fire rope. Just a question of wether your glass clamps can be adjusted to take the extra thickness.

Mine is Double Glazed . ( Burley )  Its to get the fire box heat up quicker before the stove body radiates the heat I think .

I'd have to check the measurements. Thickness of current glass is 4mm which sits in a channel at the top and bottom. Initial problem was it being too tight so cracked the glass a couple of times.
Manufacturer came over from Hungary (I think) to see the problem and take measurements, then organised the repair.

Are the double glazed sheets thinner the 4mm?

Yes I think they are pretty thin. If yours is a groove it may well not be doable anyway

You can get higher spec of glass, like ceramic glass but the double glaze solution sounds good.

I'm pretty sure it's ceramic glass that is in there. Just wondering if there is a better type.

I'll have a look tomorrow. Bit warm to have a look at the moment....
