Peggy
from Golden Valley AZ asked:
October 11, 2020
What are the refractory panels made of? Can you repair the cracks without replacing them?
1 Answer
Material varies by liner kit. No, cracks in the panels cannot be repaired and any crack thicker than a nickel necessitates a complete replacement of the panel.

I am missing pieces of ceramic fiber liner from my gas appliance. Is it still safe to use it?
1 Answer
Ceramic fiber panels within gas fireplaces and stoves are decorative in nature and not part of the insulating aspect of the appliance. If they become damaged or otherwise begin to degrade, it will not effect the operation of the appliance. If you wish to replace them, you may contact our parts professionals at 1-800-203-1642 to discuss the brand and model of your appliance. With this information in hand, replacement panels can be located in most cases.

The condo has a prefab fireplace and TEMCO THC-36 panels are no longer available. While I'm wanting to replace panels, some owners prefer to patch theirs (cracks reportedly hairline). Is patching recommended? What's the thickness of custom panels?
1 Answer
Damaged refractory panels should not be patched, they should be replaced. However, hairline cracks are normal and not a cause for concern, and not cause for a replacement. However, if the cracks are significant (anything as thick as a nickel, for example), we offer aftermarket replacement panels that are about one inch thick.

I have prefab wood burning fireplace that I am converting to a vented gas fireplace. I would like to replace the fireplace panels at the sides and rear of the fireplace. What product do you recommend?
1 Answer
With any wood burning fireplace, only 1" thick solid refractory panels may be used. Without knowing the make and model number of your fireplace to determine availability and pricing for the precut factory replacement panels, the only universal options we offer are the Hargrove Replacement Fireplace Refractory Panel - 24 inch X 28 inch and Hargrove Replacement Fireplace Refractory Panels - 24 inch X 40 inch - Set of 2 for wood burning fireplaces. Both options may be cut to fit using a circular saw and masonry blade.
