Step-by-Step Measuring Guide
1. Preparation
Ensure the stove is completely cool.
If your old glass is intact, it is best to remove it and measure the glass itself.
To remove the glass, simply undo the clips or screws holding it in place and lift it out carefully.
If the glass is still fitted and removal is difficult, you can measure it while it’s still installed—just be extra precise as it may be slightly more fiddly.
Important: Many stove models have multiple versions, which means the glass size can vary. Measuring ensures you get the correct replacement.
2. Measure the Width
• Measure strictly horizontally from left to right.
• If you have the old glass: Measure the glass itself.
• If you are measuring the stove door opening: Measure the tight opening and deduct 1–3mm from the total width (3mm is safest).
This deduction is vital. Metal expands when hot; if the glass is tight against the metal, it can crack.
3. Measure the Height
• Measure strictly vertically from top to bottom.
• If you have the old glass: Measure the glass itself.
• If you are measuring the stove door opening: Measure the tight opening and deduct 1–3mm from the total height.
4. Measure the Thickness
• Check the thickness of the glass edge.
• Standard stove glass is usually 4mm, but some older models use 5mm.
• Tip: If you are unsure, 4mm fits into 99% of stove clips/seals.
5. Non-Standard Shapes (Arched or Cut Corners)
If your glass is a standard square or rectangle, you can skip this step.
Option A: Glass with Cut Corners
If your glass has the corners sliced off (chamfered), please measure:
• The height running up the straight side of the glass to where the cut begins.
• The width across the flat top of the glass (between the two cuts).

Option B: Arched or Rounded Tops
We cannot cut curves from simple measurements; we need to copy the exact shape of your old glass.
Make a Template: Trace the outline of your glass onto cardboard or newspaper.
Send it to us: We will cut the glass to match your template and return it within 2 working days of receipt.

Important Notes
✓ Precision matters: We recommend measuring in millimetres (mm) for the best fit, though our order form accepts cm and inches.
✓ Broken Glass? If your glass is in pieces, fit them together on a flat surface like a jigsaw puzzle to get overall width/height.
✓ Don’t measure the seal: Measure the space where the glass sits, not the old rope seal.
