Set of Two Fireplace Replacement Panels (24" H x 40" W)

Got two panels at a really great price

Let me start by saying the service I received was excellent! Shortly after ordering, Mike contacted me to clarify delivery instructions and to make sure I had the proper contact info in case I had any questions or problems. Delivery was made promptly and I checked the panels as best I could without removing them from the pallet/cradle. When I removed the panels from the cradle, one of them was cracked and not usable for what I required. I contacted Mike and he had the manufacturer send a replacement, no hassle no fuss no hoops to jump through. I needed a replacement floor panel for my fireplace but they are no longer available. I ordered these panels and used the old piece(s) as a template. I laid the panel on a one inch thick of piece of foam board, then used a diamond blade on my circular saw to cut out the panel. Worked great! I then used a diamond blade on my angle grinder to add a beveled edge to match the old panel. Fit like a glove and didn't need any adjusting or re-cutting. I had read some people use a masonry blade on a circular saw to cut these, don't waste your time or money! Just get a diamond wet saw blade and cut it dry. Do it outside and don't rush it. Use a dust mask because it will make a lot of dust that you don't want to breath.Overall, I'm completely satisfied and would not hesitate to reorder.

Needed to replace the fire brick panels in a 36" x 22" opening fire place in the den. Lots of cracks, but we had used it for over 14 years. There is a danger of starting a fire if your panels are cracked. These generic panels were just what I needed to replace the bottom and rear panel. The two side panels were still in good enough shape to re-use. After carefully measuring the panels I would need, I cut them with a ceramic blade on my portable circular saw. Just like sawing a wooden stud, piece of cake. It does create a lot of dust, so you should do the cutting "outside". I found out through research that gas fireplaces use firebrick panels that are rated for less heat. If you burn wood (which is hotter), you need to ensure you get the right firebrick that is rated for it. These panels are rated for "wood". Don't get fooled by the cheaper panels that are for gas fireplaces. I could have gotten a precut set of panels but it would have cost 3 times more than what I spent on these two panels. Fire brick is Fire Brick, there's nothing magic about em. I also noticed that with these new panels in place, we get more heat radiated back into the room. The panels do need to be in your fireplace for 24 hours before you have a fire. Then you're suppose to have 3 small fires (about 30 minutes each) with a complete cool down between each fire. Once that is done, you are now ready for a barn burner! lol.

I needed one panel at least 38 in long for the bottom of my fireplace and another one at 24 in for the back. I was able to get two panels for less than the price of one 40" going this route. It was packaged with great care and arrived well within the shipment window. I had an estimate from a Chimney company for over double the price of these panels, and recently found out that in spite of some of the negative reviews regarding no wire inside, this panel is precisely what the Chimney company orders and uses! Measured twice, but still had to do several trim jobs on the cut, but was pretty easy to cut and work with using a diamond blade found easily at hardware stores. Please make sure to wear a good mask when doing so, though! The particles are very fine and get everywhere! Instructions from other sites say to light 6 curing fires before use, which we did. Everything looks good, no problems with instillation or after lighting. Have used for a week after the curing process - looks like will hold up with no problems!

Needed to replace two badly cracked refractory panels in my fire-place. Got an estimated by a fireplace repair company of over one thousand dollars. Did research online on how to do it myself for less than half the cost. You Tube video gave me instructions that were easy.. Measured the old panels used a circular electric hand saw with a diamond coated blade and cut out the appropriate size panels from the blanks and installed in less than 30 minutes.Panels came ingeniously packed on a wooden pallet by freight truck. Saved over $600.00 Anyone with some basic mechanical skills and common sense could have done it. Excellent product.

Panels were delivered on a pallet with no obvious damage, packaged well. A few days later, I unpacked them and that's when I noticed that 1 panel was 1" thick and 1 panel was 3/4" thick. I was able to use the 3/4" thick panel for the back even though original panel thickness was 1". I would have preferred 1" thick panels but would've been WAAY too much time/trouble to return via private carrier. My advice: Check thickness upon delivery!There was also a visual blemish (looked like a crack that had been repaired) on 1 panel. I was able to work around both of these issues, mainly due to the fact that I had to order the larger panels and then cut to size with large area of waste planned. Basically, got lucky.

my lower and back panels on my wood burning insert were cracked so I needed to replace them! these worked great just had to cut to size with a circular saw and a masonry blade! these new ones are just as thick as the factory panels so they fit perfectly!

The description of the fireplace replacement panels 24”H X 40”W by 1 inch thick, and 2 panels.The problem is description. When sizing (cutting) the panels the thickness of the panels in some areas become as thin as 1/2”, if this was known before, sizing the panels would have been sent back to the manufacture.
