Glass, logs and embers set right together

One maker warns that sprinkling ember material on top of the burner, or using too much rock wool, can cause sooting, poor burning and even glass breakage. A new panel fitted over an overloaded burner is at risk from its first fire. The fix costs little next to a second panel.

With the glass off, we check the embers and rock wool against the manual and set them right before the new assembly goes on. Replacing glass and want the cause fixed too in Doctors Inlet? Book it at (904) 920-5495.

If the glass cracks during a fire

A crack that appears while the fire is burning is unsettling, and the first moves matter. One maker's manual says not to open the door until the fire is out, and to keep the unit out of service until new glass is in.

Turn the fireplace off with its switch or remote, keep people and pets away from the front and let it cool all the way. Pieces that fell into the firebox stay there until the old frame comes off. Then call us with the model from the rating plate, and the replacement is ordered. The model number is what lets the order go in the same day.

The barrier screen required on newer units

The 2015 revisions to ANSI Z21.88 and Z21.50 require gas fireplaces with hot glass to carry a mesh barrier in front of it to reduce the risk of burns. One maker's manual says the barrier shall be installed, and that a damaged barrier is replaced with the maker's barrier for the model.

The same manual says any screen removed for service must be refitted before the appliance runs again. On a glass job the barrier comes off first and goes back on last, and we note on the ticket that it was refitted. Where the old barrier is sound, it is cleaned and reused rather than replaced.

The first cleaning after installation

Ten hours of running is the point at which one maker wants both faces of the glass cleaned for the first time, with a cleaner free of ammonia; that manual reports good, streak-free results from vinegar-based products. Another maker asks for the inside of the glass to be cleaned after the first ten hours of use and as needed after that.

New paint and new logs give off residue in those first hours, and it settles on the glass. We tell you when that first cleaning is due and can come back to do it. Waiting too long lets that residue bake on, which is the start of permanent haze.

Fireplace glass questions from Doctors Inlet

How do you know which glass to order?

From the rating plate, which names the maker, model and serial number. We order the assembly listed for that model.

Will new glass fix the soot?

Only if the flame is fixed too. Soot comes from a dirty flame, usually logs out of place or blocked air openings, and we correct that before fitting new glass.
