Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Discontinued products
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
