ROBAX NightFlame™

A fireplace is not just a great design object for our house. With its warmth, it appeals to all our senses and creates a feel-good atmosphere. Hearts beat faster when the fire is crackling. But this romantic magic can evaporate if you only look at ashes and soot after the fire has gone out. With ROBAX NightFlame™ that’s a thing of the past. The semi-transparent black glass-ceramic fire-viewing panel, designed predominantly for wood-burning fireplaces, offers an elegant dead-front effect when the fire is off, concealing ash and soot, and provides a captivating flame experience when the fire is on. This innovative design element transforms fireplaces into aesthetic highlights, even when not in use. ROBAX NightFlame™ is a winner of the world-renowned Red Dot Award 2023 in the category “Product Design”.

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® IR Max

The glass-ceramic panel with our efficient heat-reflective coating. While visible light can easily pass through the panel, some of the heat radiation is reflected back into the combustion chamber. Depending on the furnace design, the higher combustion chamber temperature can improve the combustion process and thus lead to lower emission values. This can result in a noticeable gain in stored energy.
ROBAX® IR Max
ROBAX® IR Max fire-viewing panel

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

While the coated glass-ceramic ROBAX® IR Max already reflects an increased proportion of the heat radiation back into the combustion chamber compared to an uncoated ROBAX® fire-viewing panel, ROBAX® IR SuperMax extends the “Smart Heat” portfolio with an even higher reflection, contributing to a consistent room temperature and helping to prevent overheating. This allows for closer placement to walls and furniture, making the fireplace a central feature in any living space. Additionally, this solution may contribute to a reduction in emissions. ROBAX® IR SuperMax was awarded as a winner of the German Innovation Award 2021 in the category "Materials & Surfaces".

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

When it looks like there is no glass at all, it’s ROBAX® TrueView. The anti-reflective coating is available for flat ROBAX® fire-viewing panels. The coating helps to avoid reflections from the area surrounding the fireplace and, thus, facilitates the best possible view of the heart of the fireplace.
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

ROBAX® Mirror transforms your fireplace into a stunning focal point even when the fire is not burning. With its advanced reflective coating, it turns the fire-viewing panel into a mirror, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefit. When no fire is burning, the often dirty inside of the fireplace is not visible anymore. When the fire is burning, however, the flames are visible with minimal distortion, providing a clear and captivating view.

CHARACTERISTICS

ROBAX® Mirror features a reflective coating on the outside of the fire-viewing panel. It is available as a flat cut-to-size ROBAX® fire-viewing panel in 4 mm and 5 mm and is found on the side that faces away from the fire. 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.
