Why you need glass for your log burner
Log burners, enclosed fireplaces and stoves are designed to generate heat by controlling the flow of air and allowing it to circulate above the logs in the burner. The flue provides ventilation, conducting the noxious gases and safely venting them outside.
The glass in the log burner is there so you can see the beautiful flames and enjoy their warmth without choking on fumes.
How glass panels can be damaged
Although the glass for log burners and other such devices is very tough and designed to withstand high temperatures, it can still crack.
This can occur in a number of ways, such as overfiring, impact from oversized logs, wear and tear over time or accidental damage.
Why log burner glass replacement is important
If the glass for your log burner or other heating device is cracked, unwanted air could enter the burner and reduce its efficiency.
What’s more, a crack could result in the glass shattering entirely or falling out, increasing the risk of sparks or debris causing a fire.
Finally, though carbon monoxide poisoning through a faulty log burner is rare, it’s still a possibility.
If the glass for your log burner is cracked or broken, small amounts of this toxic gas could escape into the room. If the room is poorly ventilated, this could potentially have severe or even fatal health consequences.
