Fireplace glass replacement explained for Meridian Park homeowners
How a glass job runs in Meridian Park, and what we check along the way.
The barrier screen in front of the glass
Newer gas fireplaces come with a mesh barrier that sits in front of the glass. It is there to reduce the risk of burns from the hot viewing glass, especially for children and other people at risk.
The barrier belongs to the appliance as much as the glass does. When we replace glass in Meridian Park, the barrier comes off for the work and goes back on before the fireplace is used again.
Where the barrier requirement came from
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found that glass fronts on vented gas fireplaces posed a risk of severe burns. The voluntary standards for vented gas fireplaces and fireplace heaters, ANSI Z21.50 and ANSI Z21.88, were revised in 2012 to require a protective barrier where the glass front exceeds 172 degrees Fahrenheit.
Industry notices put that requirement on units made from January 1, 2015. If your fireplace in Meridian Park is newer than that, it should have a barrier, and we check that it is present and undamaged during every glass job.
Remotes, wall switches and accidental starts
Remote controls and wall switches can turn a fireplace on by accident, from a sofa cushion or a curious child. With damaged glass, an accidental start is exactly what you want to avoid.
While the glass is waiting to be replaced, put the remote out of reach or remove its batteries, and consider switching the unit off at its controls. Our technicians in Meridian Park can show you where those controls are.
Temperature swings and ceramic glass
Ceramic glass is made to handle the fast temperature changes inside a firebox. Even so, water splashed on hot glass or a cold cleaner applied too early can stress it.
Let the glass cool fully before cleaning or wiping it, and keep drinks and spray bottles away from a running fireplace. It is the kind of simple care we mention at every handover in Meridian Park.

Your Meridian Park fireplace glass questions, answered
Questions we hear during free glass inspections in Meridian Park.
Why do you need my fireplace model number?
The model decides which glass assembly fits and seals. Two panels of the same size can differ in thickness, coating, gasket and mounting, so we order by the maker's part number.
What is the mesh screen in front of the glass?
It is a barrier that reduces the risk of burns from the hot glass. Gas fireplaces made under the revised standards come with one, and it goes back on after every glass job.
