Product Variants of ROBAX®
Transparent ROBAX® panels
CHARACTERISTICS
Flat ROBAX® panels offer clear views and a long product life. These are available as random sheets or cut-to-size panels. Random sheets are 1,954 x 1,100 mm in size with 4 mm or 5 mm thickness and serve as base material for cut-to-size panels. These cut-to-size panels are available in a wide range of sizes in thicknesses of 4 mm or 5 mm. They are finished according to your wishes, come with edge processing, and may have decoration or other specialties depending on your requirements. The clean, simple style of flat ROBAX® panels delivers increased functionality.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- High-quality silky matt appearance.
- Minimal natural coloring enhances the view of the fire.
- Many different formats are available, such as round cut-to-size panels.
- Special treatments are also available, including decoration to hide construction elements or for design reasons.
- We can also provide boreholes, as well as inner and outer cut-outs.
ROBAX NightFlame™
CHARACTERISTICS
ROBAX NightFlame™ is available in both flat and curved variants, providing flexible design options including immersive 3D fire-viewing experiences. The thermal properties of ROBAX NightFlame™ are consistent with those of transparent ROBAX®, allowing for effortless replacement and integration into existing systems. Frame decoration in modern black in combination with a logo in modern black or polar white is possible (printed on the inner side of the panel).
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- When switched off, the dead-front effect reduces the view into the combustion chamber and conceals residues and dirt.
- This allows greater flexibility in scheduling cleaning.
- When switched on, the flame color is nearly untouched compared to transparent ROBAX®.
- The round bent version ROBAX NightFlame™ curved allows an even better view of the flames from different perspectives.
- ROBAX NightFlame™ and ROBAX® transparent have the same thermal characteristics, so they can be replaced 1:1.
ROBAX® NightView
CHARACTERISTICS
ROBAX® NightView is available in flat, cut-to-size formats with a standard thickness of 4 mm, making it suitable for various pellet stove designs. Additionally, it offers customization options, including logo decorations in polar white, moon grey, or pure black. With ROBAX® NightView you have the possibility to replace double-glazing consisting of a glass-ceramic fire-viewing panel and a tinted front panel, opening new options for design and construction. ROBAX® NightView offers consistent thermal characteristics according to transparent ROBAX®. Therefore, the fire-viewing panel can be easily replaced.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Calms and darkens the bright flames of pellet fires, creating a more tranquil and cozier atmosphere.
- Conceals the combustion chamber when the stove is off, maintaining the fireplace's visual appeal.
- An alternative to often complex double-glazing systems.
- Simple panel installation can provide cost savings and offers new design opportunities.
- Brings a real “wow factor” and sets products apart in the value price market segment.
Curved ROBAX® panels
CHARACTERISTICS
Curved ROBAX® panels, available in various geometries and thicknesses of 4 mm or 5 mm, provide exceptional views of the fire from all sides. A wide and customizable choice of dimensions is possible, with unlimited bending radii from 225 mm, arc lengths from 210 mm to 1,100 mm, and standard panel heights from 100 mm to 800 mm. Curved ROBAX® panels are finished according to your requirements and come with edge processing. Decoration and other specialties are also available depending on your design.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Countless styles are possible thanks to an excellent choice of bending radii, including multi-radial and opening angles.
- Several decorative colors are available.
- Complex shapes with innovative geometries are available on request.
- Imposing showcase sizes, such as the 'Giant', the largest producible curved ROBAX® panel, which measures 1,490 mm (arc length) x 980 mm (height).
Angular bent ROBAX® panels
CHARACTERISTICS
The unique designs of angular bent SCHOTT ROBAX® panels offer a comprehensive view of a fire from all sides. Available in thicknesses of 4 or 5 mm, panels with one or more bending edges ensure a wide range of optics with a wide variety of possible bending angles, side part lengths, and heights, or even bending radii. The latter offers maximum visibility with a transparent bending edge. Angular bent ROBAX® panels are finished according to our customers’ wishes. They come with edge processing and may have decoration or other specialties according to the customer’s design.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Panels available with one bend for corner fireplaces or two 90° bends for room-dividing fireplaces.
- Ideal bending edge offers more strength under dynamic load and an optimal design.
- The big bending radius feature provides a see-through bending edge for maximum vision.
- Bespoke, complex shapes are available upon request, such as three parallel or two non-parallel bending edges.
ROBAX® IR Max
CHARACTERISTICS
Due to its special IR reflective coating, ROBAX® IR Max reflects more heat back into the combustion chamber than uncoated ROBAX®. The coated panel is available in flat cut-to-size and random sheets with a glass thickness of 4 mm and 5 mm for wood, pellet, and gas fireplaces. The coated side faces away from the fire. In reflection, the surface of the coated ROBAX® IR Max panel appears slightly blue depending on the viewing angle.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Elevated temperature in the combustion chamber.
- Higher efficiency of the energy used for the combustion process.
- Simultaneous reduction of the temperature outside of the combustion chamber, and therefore making the living room comfortably warm but not too hot.
- Constant performance of the coating over the entire life cycle when properly used.
ROBAX® IR SuperMax
CHARACTERISTICS
ROBAX® IR SuperMax is the glass-ceramic panel with our most efficient heat-reflective coating. It is available for wood, pellet, and gas fireplaces in 4 mm and 5 mm as flat cut-to-size panels. The coating is facing away from the fire. In reflection, the surface of the coated ROBAX® IR SuperMax panel appears slightly greenish or pink, mirrored, depending on the viewing angle. Frame decoration and logo printing are possible.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Lower heat radiation into the living space prevents overheating and ensures noticeably more comfortable room temperatures, also in low-energy and passive houses.
- Due to the higher heat on the inner side of the glass-ceramic fire-viewing panel, less soot is deposited on its surface, resulting in reduced cleaning efforts.
- A reduction of emissions is possible by using ROBAX® IR SuperMax. Moreover, the effect of a catalyst in the fireplace can be significantly improved.
- The coating does not degrade (when used according to our recommendations) over the entire life cycle of the fireplace.
- A drastic improvement in the efficiency of the combustion process is possible.
ROBAX® TrueView
CHARACTERISTICS
ROBAX® TrueView is designed specifically for gas fireplaces and offers an unparalleled viewing experience. The coating is applied on both sides of the fire-viewing panel, significantly reducing reflections from the surrounding area. The anti-reflective coating is available for flat ROBAX® fire-viewing panels in 4 mm and 5 mm.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- The dual-sided coating minimizes reflections, providing a clear and unobstructed view of the fire, making your fireplace the centerpiece of your home.
- Enhances their fireplace experience, leading to higher satisfaction and loyalty.
- High-quality coating ensures long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
ROBAX® Mirror
CHARACTERISTICS
ROBAX® Mirror features a reflective coating on the outside of the fire-viewing panel.

The coating has a silvery mirror effect in reflection, but is colorless in transmission, ensuring a natural fire display. ROBAX® Mirror is suitable for all types of fuels, including wood, pellet, and gas.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- ROBAX® Mirror turns the panel into a mirror when the fire is out, eliminating the view into the combustion chamber.
- When the fire is burning, it presents superb views of the flames.
