A fireplace panel is a refractory panel that is present on the sides and bottom of your fireplace. The fireplace panels are an important element as they help in withstanding the heat.

Are Cracks on the fireplace Panel Dangerous? 

The cracks on the fireplace panels are dangerous because these can lead to carbon monoxide leakage. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas; excessive exposure can lead to organ damage and other health issues. Generally, carbon monoxide cannot be detected because it is odorless.

Additionally, the cracks allow the debris and heat to become close to the combustible material around the fireplace. Prolonged exposure to heat reduces the ignition point of the material, thus posing a fire breakout threat.

Causes Of Cracks in The Fireplace Panels

Here we have listed some most common causes of fireplace panel damage:

1. Constant Expansion & Contraction:The most common reason for cracks in the refractory panels are heating up and cooling down. Due to constant expansion and contraction, hairline leads to cracks in fireplace panels.

2. Improper or Defective Installation: An incorrectly placed fire may also cause cracks in the panels. Installation of defective panels also leads to early cracks. The manufacturers have a batch of panels that might be bumped or dropped. They seem fine till the time of installation but crack as soon as they are exposed to heat.

3. Excessive Heat: Due to excessive heat from an improper fire in the firebox. If the flames are too high and high intensity, it may be a good reason for cracks in the panels.

4. Accidentally Hitting: If the panels are hit with heavy logs, they can develop cracks in your fireplace.

5. Thermal Shock: It also causes cracks in the panels. When people try to reduce the fire by splitting water on it thus, splashes of cold water hit the heated panel, causing cracks.

When Should You Consider Fireplace Panel Replacement? 

Hairline cracks are a common sight in the fireplace panels. The minor cuts occur because of the constant expansion and contraction. With such minor cracks, you can rest assured and keep using the fireplace to warm up your room.

The metal behind these panels can take the heat that passes through these minor cracks. However, any crack larger than 1/16 inch is dangerous and must be replaced at the earliest. The deeper cracks also result in the panels falling apart in chunks. Hence it becomes essential for the owners to replace the panels.

Panel replacement is easier in factory-built fireplaces but is a skilled task in masonry fireplaces. Our technicians are trained and qualified for both kinds of replacements. They are skilled in using the traditional brick method and the latest technology to replace your old panels with new ones to keep up with your safety.
