Are you looking for a glass that is resistant to high temperatures?
We can offer you two types of solutions: tempered glass, which is mainly used for decorative hearths, or transparent vitroceramics such as Robax® and Pyrocéram, which are resistant to higher temperatures.
Tempered glass
Tempered glass is glass that has been treated to improve its strength. To do this, the glass is heated in a furnace to a temperature of about 600°C, where the glass reaches its softening point, and then cooled very quickly. This process makes the glass 2 to 5 times stronger than standard glass, but also ensures that it cannot be cut or drilled after it is made.
Tempered glass can withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F), so it can be used for decorative fireplaces, but not for a high-temperature fireplace.
Robax® or Pyrocéram glass
If you are looking for the best solution to replace a fireplace, insert or wood stove glass, we recommend Robax® glass or Pyrocéram glass. This is a transparent vitroceramic, specially designed for high-temperature fireplaces. This type of glass can withstand extreme temperatures of up to 800°C (1472°F). In addition, both Pyrocéram and Robax® glass for wood stoves and fireplaces can withstand thermal shocks. This type of glass is therefore very safe and ensures optimal heat diffusion and radiation to maximize your comfort.
This glass can be cut to size according to your needs directly in our workshop.
Located in L’Île-Perrot, in the west of Montreal, Vitrerie Dorval offers a Robax and Pyrocéram heat-resistant glass cutting service, as well as an installation service.
