What Is Neoceram Glass?
Neoceram is a transparent glass-ceramic material capable of withstanding high temperatures without cracking or shattering. It is resistant to thermal shock and heat resistant nearly 3x more than standard tempered glass (continuous temperatures up to 1292 degrees Fahrenheit versus 428 degrees of tempered soda lime glass) with almost zero thermal expansion coefficient. The heat resistance also does not diminish over time like other glass products in the category.
Key Benefits of Neoceram Glass

- Thermal Shock Resistance
- Durability
- Good Transparency
- Smooth, texture-free surface
- Density: 2.5 gm/cm3
- Vickers Hardness: 700 HV/10

Mechanical Properties of Neoceram Glass
Ceramic Fireplace Glass Replacement & Other Applications for Neoceram Glass
Neoceram ceramic glass provides reliable protection in a wide range of applications. It is often integrated into heating appliances during construction of new residential and commercial environments, including fireplaces in lobbies, foyers, outdoor commercial firepits, and more. It is also used as a ceramic fireplace glass replacement, providing a custom high-quality barrier for heating elements. Common applications for Neoceram Glass include:
- Wood burning stoves
- Gas and electric fireplaces
- Heating appliances
- Hearths
- Architectural lighting fixtures
- And more
Differences Between Neoceram Glass & Tempered Glass
Neoceram glass and tempered glass are both types of safety glass, but they have distinct characteristics. Tempered glass is standard glass that has been heated and then rapidly cooled to improve its strength. Neoceram Glass is a glass-ceramic material that is far superior to tempered glass in high-temperature environments, able to withstand temperatures nearly three times higher.
Neoceram glass is also less susceptible to cracking or breaking when exposed to rapid temperature changes than tempered glass. This is especially important in environments where heat sources are frequently turned on and off, like fireplaces in commercial and residential spaces. Neoceram maintains excellent clarity at high temperatures, allowing for clear visibility of flames or other heat sources.
