Stove glass

[Brushcutter]

Hi

 

Broke my stove glass a Dovre 250. Seems to be lots of glass suppliers online. Any recommendations of who to deal with before i part with my money.

 

Cheers.

Try this fella, I got four vermiculite fireblocks off him, very good price and fast delivery - just ask him for what you want.

Keep meaning to get a new bit for mine. It's broken in three and held together with 2 hacksaw blades and some tin foil. Been like it for 2 years now. When it falls out I might be inspired to replace it.

Could try this place,

I think they do some glass. But they don't list Dovre; could enquire all the same.

It's not glass! It's ceramic... I only learnt that when I went to see our local guy (John the Glass) to ask him to cut new windows for my stove. Cheap as chips, don't pay too much, ask if they are supplying glass or ceramic to see if they are pucker. Thought I'd do the replacement myself rather than put the doors into local wood burner place - we've got a big, old, Woodwarm, securing bolts were seized and needed drilling out and re-tapping, replaced the ropes etc, bit of a hassle but better than paying 'shop' prices.

Luckily our stoves have flat glass so just get local glass supplier to cut to size from some heatproof glass cost about 20 quid rather than the £70 the stove manufacturers wanted

It's not glass...

Or perhaps it's a bit of both: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-ceramic

Nice link! Too much detail for me, if John the Glass says it's ceramic I'm just repeating what he told me, chemistry not my bag! I've seen John handle sheets of glass like he's folding paper, if I tried it there'd be fingers & claret all over the floor - in my book, he's a Demi-god of the glass world, he could tell me it's made of sugar and I'd believe him ):0)
