Sealing tape for replacing heat-resistant glass

Gaskets for replacing heat-resistant glass in the fireplace door are made of glass yarn, in crochet technique on round braiding cylinders or on a flat knitting machine. The tapes are characterized by a soft, elastic weave. The products are available in an impregnated (dyed) version.

• Length 1 piece = 1 meter. When buying more than one piece, the product is prepared in one piece.
• Sealing tape size: selectable from the list (width/thickness)
• Easy installation with adhesive tape

What is the difference between SF sealing tape and SR?

The abbreviations SF and SR inform us about how the gasket with the tape was made. The abbreviation SR means that the product was made in crochet technique on round braiding cylinders. The abbreviation SF, on the other hand, tells us that the tape was made in crochet technique on a flat knitting machine.

What is the difference between one and the other?

The SF tape is flattened and the SR version is slightly rounded. Technically, both have the same properties. When choosing a gasket for the fireplace door, you need to make sure that you choose the right thickness and width. The method of execution and shape of the tape can affect the choice only for the contractor who is accustomed to working with a specific type of sealing tapes.

Sealing Tape Replacement

1. Remove the old glass and remove the old gasket. Use a brush (preferably wire) to remove the remnants of cord and old glue, finally degrease with a cloth moistened with denaturant (or other oily agent).
2. Remove the tape and fix the cord in the frame. The adhesive of the tape will prevent the cord from moving during assembly.
3. Insert the heat-resistant glass and fix it with a clamp suitable for the furnace.
