All our rope kits are put together by hand. The glue is specially made for us, and is silicone based.

All our glass is made by NEG. A precision glass manufacturer based in Japan. This Neo Ceram glass is the top of the range option with unique advantages like silica coatings and a polished finish.

All our Brick sets are cut accurately by CNC, and then hand finished. The brick itself is produced by Skamol, a Scandinavian company that make most OEM stove bricks.

A closer look:

Our rope kits include the main door rope, glass seal, end sealing tape for sealing the rope ends. A “How To” video and our famous silicone based glue ensuring the easiest and smartest finish.

Stove rope is made from glass fibre, so gloves and a mask are a nice idea. Make sure you properly clean the door of any old rope and glue. Place the rope into the groove (make sure to remove any twist from the rope), and then use the end sealing tape to mark where the correct length is. Then cut in the middle of the tape so that both ends are sealed and look smart. Then if glue is required with your stove, dribble a thin bead into the rope grove and place the rope on top. Leave the door overnight and you’ll be ready to re-fit the door and get going.

Stove glass is produced by 2 main manufacturers. Schott Robax who make many of the glass hobs on electric cookers. And NEG who make Neo Ceram glass. Neo Ceram is typically the premium option, as you are getting a polished finish which not only looks clearer but also stays cleaner too. The glass also has a silica coating which dramatically reduces issues with glass crazing and frosting.

From there the glass is exactly the same, its ceramic glass that is 4mm thick and is a zero thermal expansion glass for your wood, coal, oil or gas burning stove.

As always fitting it is a delicate process. You want to ensure that the glass seal (which comes for free with all our rope kits) is in good condition and provides a good cushion and seal. You can then sit the glass and ensure that when you secure it with the glass clips, that glass still has some wiggle room. Over tightening will crack the glass, so care is needed.

As with all makers and distributors of glass, the rules are universal. Glass is a consumable and does not break of its own accord. It will generally only break if it is overtightened into place, bumped or subject to huge temperature change (eg a cold glass of water poured over it, when a fire is lit). Glass with a fault is exceedingly rare, but it will reveal itself immediately once subject to heat. Only glass which is found to have a fault can be covered by any form of warranty. Another way of looking at this is like tyres on a car. If you get a puncture, or wheel spin a tyre until it bursts, then it is not covered no matter how old it is. However if it bursts the second you pump it up (as long as you don’t exceed the maximum pressure), then this is the only situation that a fault (not subject to use) has been found.

On the flip side we have been selling, fitting and using stove glass our entire lives. It is incredibly reliable and issues of any kind are truly exceptionally rare <1/1000.

Stove fire bricks that we supply are made from vermiculite boards. All boards are either original or precision cut from originals to within 1mm. This includes the thickness which is also either original or made to the same sizes.

Firebricks can be delicate particularly once fired over time, so they need a gentle touch. The number 1 cause of issues is how logs are placed on a stove. As bumps will slowly erode and crack the bricks. The good news is that a cracked brick does not necessarily need replacing. If it stays in place and can be pushed back together then leave it. A brick can last a day, a week, a month, or a year, without a crack depending on what it is subject to. If you’re careful I’ve known bricks last well over a decade, but equally some of us have unfortunately broken a brick on a brand new stove.

All our bricks are manufactured by Skamol in Denmark. They are the highest quality and we’re very proud of the product we produce with the raw material boards. Fitting them can be a bit fiddly, but the key thing is taking your time, not being rough and ensuring that you have removed any old firebrick, soot and ash. You may also find it helpful to type your stove into YouTube as many of the models available have individual “how to” videos on removing and replacing the firebricks.
