[Closed] Wood Stove - Broken glass. Is it anything special?

It's a ceramic glass (I think) so needs a specialist (or ebay). £37 isn't a lot in the grand scale of things.

Apparently it's special because of its low thermal expansion properties...
The main reason I wanted to buy it locally was because we currently have no heating and I wanted it tomorrow!

Surely stove shops have rakes of sheets they can cut to suit?

Or glaziers?

£37 is cheap for stove glass. Some Parkray ones are north of £90.

we used oursfor a good year with a crack, then I finally walked to the stove shop in town 600 yrds away and bought one............

so first port of call local stove shop seller

you will need your wood burners makers name and model

next try an old fashion iron mongers they usual have something in there

Stick your stoves name and model into eBay and see if you can find the glass on there.

be just as quick buy online.

mine was just over £20 ymmv

edit, scrap that, your bit works out a quid or so more on there

Will it be something I can get at my local glass supplier or is the glass so specialist that the only place I'll get it from will be the stove manufacturer?

It's a special, low expansion, transparent glass ceramic.

If you're in Liverpool, J.B. Treasure & Co. stock sheets of it (or used to).

Likely to be easier / more convenient / maybe cheaper to order from StoveSpares, etc.

Thanks for the advice.
Found one on eBay for £24

Just out of interest how did you crack it?

My guess is trying to close the door with an oversized log in there? 😉
