Hargrove 40 Inch Replacement Fireplace Refractory Panel - Double Pack

Our chimneysweep said our fireplace wasn't safe to use, as the back and bottom panels were cracked beyond repair. He quoted me $700 for the repair and told me he couldn't actually do the repair for TWO months.... so after searching online I found these replacement panels. They arrived in just over a week, delivery was perfect! No damage what so ever. I spent $15 on a diamond blade for my circular saw and I was in business. The blade made clean cuts. It was loud & dusty & sparks flew, but installation went without a hitch and the fireplace looks brand new. I highly recommend these panels.

Needed refractory panels for a discontinued natural fireplace insert. Was able to order these blanks and cut out my own.

Purchase, shipment, cutting, and installation worked perfectly. Cutting was done easily with a battery-powered circular saw and a Diamond/Masonry blade. Followed the rest of the directions included for use and we are now up and running. Easy! Highly recommend!!

Well built, easy to cut. Nice upgrade for 20-year-old fireplace. Would not hesitate to recommend this product.

The panels are easy to cut using an angle grinder with a concrete blade. They also are easy to drill. I put a thick stack of cardboard behind the hole to stop blowout. It worked fine.

Panels were a consistent thickness with minimal air bubbles.

The previous homeowners had burned many a hot fire in the fireplace and the refractory walls showed it! The heat was passing through to the siding behind it. The new walls are much thicker and better quality than the original and it’s looks better than new!

Panels were easy to work with and to install.

No problems. Was easy to cut with a diamond blade. Just make sure you cut it outside using dust mask and safety glasses. Ear plugs is a good idea to use.

While I haven’t actually installed the panels yet, therefore I have not been able to use the fireplace, I feel as if the panels are of the highest quality. They are 1 inch thick and are very heavy weighted. I do not anticipate any problems or issues!

I was worried because I had to cut one panel in half to be used as side panels. I used a wet/dry diamond tip masonry blade for my circular saw which was under $15 at Lowe's and it cut perfectly. The brick pattern looks great.

The product is very heavy, dense concrete that cuts well, and provides a simple solution to a potentially dangerous problem. It all works well together to renew the zero clearance fireplace.

Nice fireplace panel. Seems to be really good quality. Time will be the true test.

I ordered these two sheets and a third sheet for the bottom of my fireplace. Installed them myself and as you can see they look fabulous. Saved me a ton of money and now I don't have to worry about my house burning down LOL.

This is a very good product, very easy to work with. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it's expensive regardless of who you use. I definitely recommend it.

Needed new panels for our wood burning fireplace and found out they needed to be cut to size. These panels were the only ones that would fit the dimensions. Surprised they were shipping freight but it made sense due to weight. They were easy to cut with a diamond saw. The installed panels look great!

Instructions are very straight forward and easy to understand. The panels arrived intact and well packaged - ended being easy to cut than I expected, which made me a bit concerned with overall material strength. But did the curing process as recommended, and they are holding steady and pretty.

Panels arrived clean and free of any cracks. Recommend this company to anyone needing these panels.

I was delighted to receive this product. It's perfect for our fireplace repair.

Easy to install and easy to cut with a diamond blade on a rotary saw. Looks very nice in the fireplace.

These panels were delivered in front of my garage in perfect order. They are now looking great in my fireplace.

Shipped withpanels standing up and secured to a pallet system, no damage. The panels were as advertised, heavy and well made. They were easy to cut with a diamond blade and installed with just moving back metal tabs. I was going to paint the panels flat black, but once they were installed the grey looks fantastic as is.

It came on Time, Was in perfect shape, Had several questions, they were answered very quick and the people were very pleasant and friendly, 5 Star service all around.

Arrived on time. Securely shipped. No damage. Cut to fit was simple. Looks great. Time will tell on durability. Pleased with purchase so far.

Received fireplace panels in one piece after the first ones either were broken or lost.

Cut was pretty easily done with the right blade. Getting all the metal back in place was the hardest part of the project.

I researched, I asked questions here on the web site, got the answers I needed, so I ordered this 2 pack of Refractory Panels. The order was filled within a day and on my way. efireplacestore sent various emails keeping me informed of the delivery process. FedEx called for the delivery appointment, driver was great, backed his tractor right in my driveway ( which they do NOT have to do, since this is a curbside delivery), we unloaded the very well packaged skid right into the bed of my pick-up! ( The weight on the shipping ticket was right at 200 lbs. ) Our fireplace insert was very simple to disassemble, laid out the old Hearth onto one panel and traced it, same with the 2nd panel to do the back. I used a circular saw, with a carbon blade ( available at any home improvement store ), It WILL get dusty when you cut the panel, so wear some type of mask/bandana when cutting. Reassemble in reverse (Hearth/Back Panel/Side Panels ).

The Hargrove Universal Replacement Panels are the ultimate choice for replacing your damaged panels. These panels are great for those, including myself, who do not have the make and model of their fire place. They are fitted by cutting with a masonry blade on a circular saw. There is a lot of dust, so I recommend safety glasses and a dust mask. The panels cut easily. The shipping packaging is good. BE SURE TO INSPECT THEM PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE.

Arrived in 10 days. Undamaged. Had no problems cutting (used a grinder with masonry wheel. Cut was really clean. I would recommend this companies products.

Received in a timely fashion with no damage.

I have a 40 year old Majestic fireplace and the Backwall refractory was cracked and needed to be replaced. eFireplaceStore offered an acceptable replacement. Delivery was prompt and the price was acceptable. Good experience.

Be prepared at delivery

I found the refractory panels to be of excellent quality and I received them quickly after ordering them. The website was easy to navigate and clear.

Easy to cut and install. Looks really nice!

These panels were ordered to replace old cracked panels in a Majestic fireplace unit. They were shipped very quickly and came well packaged; wrapped in plastic and thick cardboard sheets between each one, strapped upright on a very sturdy pallet. Delivery personnel were very gracious to unload them from the tractor trailer (no loading deck).
The panels are exactly as described and were expertly cut by my son using the old panels as a template and utilizing a grinder with a diamond disk. They fit perfectly into the fireplace and the entire thing looks like a new unit. No fire has been set in the fireplace as of yet but there are instructions for curing the panels and that needs to be done to insure good service from the panels.

Everything about this purchase went without a flaw, from ordering to shipping, Even my contractor had no problems with it either. I would recommend this company and this product again.

No problems with ordering or installatiion

Everything worked out great! Got the panels within one week from ordering, measured, cut and replaced with a help from a friend, and got brand new looking fireplace. Hargrow pannels seem much more durable and substantial then the original pannels I had in the fireplace. All in all, by going the self installing route I have saved 1K, and as a bonus, I had enough of the pannel material to refurbish the base.

Our order arrived very quickly and the way they packaged the 2 panels there was little risk of shipping damage. The manufacturer of our fireplace insert went out of business years ago so after a few hours of research this product was the best/cheapest choice. Glad we went with this product and company, would highly recommend buying if you are in the market. Install is quite simple with even rudimentary skills. Be sure to follow the break in advice they have listed here for these panels.

I placed an order on Monday, I received my shipment on Wednesday. Very fast shipping very well packed. I have a very nice looking fireplace. The price is so much better than having it repaired or replaced. I LOVE IT.

My fireplace looks wonderful. The shipping was extremely fast, I ordered on a Monday an it was delivered on Wednesday the same week. I pulled out the broken panels piece them together and used them as a cutting template. Everything went together easily and very well.

I needed to replace the bottom and rear firebrick liner or refractory on my old Temco Woodburning Fireplace.Temco no longer exists so I found this on line and ordered it. It arrived no problem and I hired a chimney cleaning company for $350 to install it as they had to cut the panels to fit my fireplace and its a messy job that I didn't want to deal with. I was a little worried that the panel would look different than the existing refractory but the approx. 2"x8" size of brick matched great and the cement grey color also worked well. I also was concerned about that the new panels may be too thick to fit in place of the old but the 3/4" fit perfectly. In fact these panels seem much stronger than the old. I am very happy with the outcome.

I order these panels for a fireplace that is no longer made. I am flipping a house and did not want to put a new fire box in the brick panels were cracked I needed them quick for a closing within a week so I called them to see if I could get them quicker.....the guy called me back said I could have them Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Very nice to have great customer service on the phone. I would order this again!

We have a Marco fireplace, which is no longer in business, so finding firebrick panels we thought would be impossible. These worked perfectly! You get two panels, which we needed two, so one we used on the back (and have enough left to do a side if ever needed) and it pretty much took a full panel to do the bottom. They are fragile but we bought a blade for our SKIL saw to cut them. Had no problem or breakage. May seem a little $$$ but worth it. We use our fireplace daily during the Winter months. The panels aren't as thick as the Marco panels and they don't have the wire mesh embedded. We'll see how they hold up.

Got my items and had no problems.

First set I received was cracked, but had no hassle refusing. Company reshipped replacement set very quickly. VERY SATISFIED!!!!

As advertised. Showed up quick, cut to size, works great!Thanks

Used to custom build a firebox, easy to cut with a diamond blade.

Good

Panels were exactly as described. Shipping and delivery was quick. The freight company arrived when they said they would and the panels were very securely attached to a pallet. No damage at all during shipment. The panels were very easy to install...Just lay the old panel on top, trace the shape and cut with a circular saw with a masonry blade. I removed the old panels and had the new ones installed within about an hour. Just be sure to do your cutting outside away from the house. Like all masonry projects, there is a good deal of dust when you cut. I recommend the panels and this store to anyone looking to save some money and get a quality product.

Purchased both panels, first of all - the best pricing, second - super fast shipping, great communication, customer service willing to go an extra step to make sure, you get a best service. Thank you. Very happy with the product.

The rear refractory panel in my zero-clearance fireplace sustained normal wear and tear damage due to years of fireplace use. After scouring the internet for a replacement panel for this particular fireplace, I discovered that the fireplace manufacturer of my fireplace had gone out a business. This is not uncommon for older fireplaces.I checked around in my town and couldn't find any fireplace store who had replacement panels. I asked the chimney sweep who cleans my chimney and he told me that needed to get replacement panels and that he would cut and install them for me. My fireplace has a back, two side, and a floor panel. Four total panels. I only had damage to the back panel. After surfing the internet I stumbled across what I thought was the best deal for these replacement panels at e-Fireplace Store.com. I sent them a few emails and made a call or two and decided that the best deal for me was to order their 24X40 set of 2 panels. I planned to have my chimney sweep guy cut what I needed for this job and save the leftovers for any future replacement. There's free shipping on the set of 2 panels, which is a "significant" savings on the cost.I ordered the panels and it took about 2-3 weeks to receive them. That seemed a bit long, but I suppose they make the panels once they're ordered. The panels arrived in an 18 wheeler truck, so plan to have an 18 wheeler in your driveway, or if that won't work as it didn't for me (I live very rural and up a long narrow driveway), be prepared to have the driver meet you somewhere, and bring your pickup truck. The panels were expertly packed on a pallet. As packed, they're pretty heavy. Be careful once they arrive because these panels are fragile. They will break. Take the damaged panels out of your fireplace and use them as your cutting template. The old panels are probably held in with clips. Mine were. It took my fireplace guy about 15 minutes to do the entire operation. He used a "diamond blade" on his saw to cut the panels. It worked good. Do NOT use a standard saw blade.Once installed, don't light a full fire to your fireplace. New panels must first cure and expand to the heat gently before they're completely ready for a fire. This takes about three hours. I used one of those match-lit logs you can buy at any Walmart. They don't produce extensive heat, they burn for about three hours, and they're easy to monitor. Once that part's complete, fire away. I'd also be careful not to over burn the first time. In other words, keep your wood OFF the panels and don't light a bonfire to your fireplace.All in all I'm very happy about these panels. The eFireplaceStore.com folks will replace them if they arrive damaged, and mine refract the heat as designed and has been durable up to now. We've been using the fireplace daily for about a month since we had the back panel installed, with no deficiencies noted. I suppose the only downside to buying refractory replacements is the cost. They're not inexpensive, but they're worth the expense if you rely on your fireplace to provide heat during the winter months. I rate eFireplaceStore.com and these panels with an "A" and would not hesitate to recommend this product to a friend. Good luck!

relatively easy installation with basic tools. much cheaper than local chimney repair supply houses.no complaints

I had 2 bad panels so I opted for the set of 2 24 x 40 panels. To my surprise they were shipped by truck and not FedEx or UPS. The way they were wrapped and palleted made it so that nothing could be stacked on top of them so damage is almost impossible. The trucking service called my cell phone to let me know they were coming. "A WEEK EARLIER THAN ESTIMATED" which was fantastic. And to top it all off. I got 3 panels cut out of the 2 pieces,both sides and a back . And still have enough left over to make 1 more if anything happens.I priced in stores and they are really expensive so if you don't mind cutting them you save a lot.

I bought two panels to replace my old fire place with. The panels where easy to cut down to the proper size with a concrete metal saw blade. make sure you wear a dust mask. ran it 3 times now and no cracks
