  • Page 77: Double Glass Overview

    DOUBLE GLASS OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with double glass safety barrier 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, significantly lowering the temperature of the external glass, making it safe for a brief touch.

  • Page 78: Double Glass Requirements

    DOUBLE GLASS REQUIREMENTS 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. These relatively quiet blowers cannot be turned off and are required for the continued operation of your Double Glass system.

  • Page 79: Air Intake Sizing

    AIR INTAKE SIZING The following sizing chart represents the minimums for your heat release. Flare recommends making these openings as large as possible to keep the system even cooler than required. The elements must be followed for successful and safe fireplace operation. Not following these requirements will void your warranty. Size Vent Size Units Size...
