Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.
