Cleaning up after broken glass
Broken fireplace glass ends up among the logs, the embers and the burner. Ceramic fiber logs call for gloves and a gentle hand; the manual we follow has them cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum nozzle and kept away from any liquid. Loose shards can also stick in the ember bed and the burner ports.
We lift the fragments out with the old frame, clear the logs and firebox, and set the logs back to the manual's diagram before the new glass goes on. Glass shattered inside your Springfield fireplace? Leave it to us; call (904) 920-5495.

Ceramic glass and why it is specified
Glass on the front of a sealed gas fireplace sees high temperatures and sudden changes, and makers specify what can take it. On one current model the factory glass is 5 mm ceramic, and its manual allows only the maker's replacement parts.
Ceramic glass barely expands as it heats, which is why it is used where ordinary glass would crack. The replacement matches what the maker specified for the model, whether ceramic or tempered, and we do not mix types. The part list on the estimate shows exactly which glass is going in.
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.
Cleaning glass fragments off ceramic logs
Many gas log sets are made of ceramic fiber, which needs care when glass breaks among them. One maker's manual asks for gloves to avoid skin irritation from the fibers, for the logs to be vacuumed with a brush attachment or brushed with a soft, dry brush, and for no fluids to be used on them.
We clear fragments from the logs and firebox that way, check the logs for damage, and put them back on the manual's diagram before the new glass goes on. A broken log is replaced, since the manuals do not allow running with one.

Fireplace glass questions from Springfield
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.
What made my glass turn white?
One maker's chart names sulfur from the gas settling on the glass, which can etch in if left. If cleaning no longer removes it, the panel needs replacing.
