Mica (Heat-Resistant Plastic Glass Panels)
Mica has been widely utilized as a replacement for glass in wood-burning stoves, particularly in older models. It is a naturally occurring silicated mineral extracted from the earth. Due to its unique chemical structure, mica can be easily separated into thin, opaque sheets. These mica sheets are known for their remarkable heat resistance and are typically around 1mm thick when used in stove windows. However, it’s worth noting that mica sheets are relatively small and delicate, making them prone to damage if not handled with care. In the past, stove manufacturers relied on mica for window panes, resulting in smaller window sizes compared to modern stoves that use ceramic heat-resistant glass.
