Why You Should Replace the Fibreglass Rope or Tape in Your Wood Heater

If you own a wood heater or wood fire, keeping it in good condition is essential for safety, efficiency, and performance. One key maintenance task that often gets overlooked is replacing the fibreglass rope or tape that seals the door. This small component plays a big role in how well your heater functions.

1. Maintains an Airtight Seal

The fibreglass rope or tape acts as a gasket to ensure the door seals properly. Over time, heat and wear can cause it to fray, harden, or lose its shape. A damaged or worn seal allows excess air into the firebox, making it harder to control the burn rate and reducing efficiency.

2. Improves Heating Efficiency

When the door seal is intact, your wood heater burns fuel more efficiently, producing more heat with less wood. If air leaks in, your fire will burn too fast, wasting fuel and increasing costs.

3. Reduces Smoke and Emissions

A tight seal helps maintain proper airflow, reducing the amount of smoke escaping into your home. It also helps your heater burn wood more completely, cutting down on creosote buildup in the flue and lowering the risk of chimney fires.

4. Enhances Safety

Gaps in the door seal can lead to smoke leaks, poor combustion, and even the risk of carbon monoxide exposure. Replacing the fibreglass rope or tape ensures your heater runs safely.

When to Replace It

If you notice fraying, gaps, or a loose fit, it’s time to replace the seal. It’s a simple, inexpensive fix that can make a big difference in performance and safety.

Regular maintenance keeps your wood heater running at its best. Check your door seal today!

Here’s a simple guide on how to replace the fibreglass rope or tape in your wood heater door:

1. To replace the fibreglass rope or tape, start by ensuring your wood heater is completely cool.
2. Open the door and carefully remove the old seal, scraping away any leftover adhesive or debris from the groove using a wire brush or scraper.
3. Measure the length of the old rope or tape and cut a new piece to match.
4. Apply a high-temperature adhesive or stove cement into the groove, then firmly press the new fibreglass seal into place, ensuring it sits evenly.
5. Allow the adhesive to dry as per the manufacturer’s instructions before closing the door.
6. Once set, check that the door seals properly—adjust if necessary.

This simple process helps keep your heater running efficiently and safely.
