    OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with safety double glass technology. The Flare Fireplace double glass is built with two layers of glass. The design allows cool air to flow between the two layers, with the help of built-in blowers, which significantly lowers the temperature of the external glass, making it safe for a brief touch.
  • Page 59: Double Glass - Instructions

    DOUBLE GLASS - INSTRUCTIONS The double glass design depends on the blower’s ability to move room temperature air from the lower air intake, up between the internal and external glass, through the chase above the fireplace, and out the upper heat release.
