Understanding the differences between tempered and ceramic glass helps you select the best option for your fireplace:
Tempered Glass:
Heat-treated for added strength.
Can withstand moderate temperatures but is generally best for decorative or gas fireplaces rather than high-heat wood-burning units.
Breaks into small, blunt pieces if shattered, providing safety but not suitable for extreme heat.
Typically thinner and more affordable than ceramic glass.
Ceramic Glass:
Designed to withstand extremely high temperatures, up to 1,200°F or more.
Ideal for wood-burning fireplaces, stoves, and inserts.
Cracks under severe thermal stress rather than shattering, maintaining overall integrity even under high heat.
Provides long-lasting heat resistance and superior performance in high-temperature applications.
Temperature Rating: Check manufacturer specifications; ceramic glass always handles higher temperatures than tempered glass.
Appearance: Ceramic glass often has a slightly tinted or greenish hue compared to clear tempered glass.
Label or Stamp: Many manufacturers stamp tempered glass with a small “tempered” mark in the corner, whereas ceramic glass may be labeled with its thermal rating.
Intended Use: If the glass is for a high-heat wood-burning fireplace, it is almost always ceramic; tempered is typically for decorative or low-heat applications.
Behavior Under Stress: Tempered glass shatters into small pieces; ceramic glass cracks but remains largely intact.
Custom Fit: Every fireplace glass panel is cut and fabricated to your exact specifications.
Professional Installation: Proper fit ensures safety and optimal performance.
High-Quality Materials: We use premium tempered and ceramic glass to meet your heating and safety needs.
