Can the Pet Door Fit either side of my patio door?
Most common in homes is the inside slide which means the panel slides inside the fixed outer panel. Outside sliding models which are less common would require us to install the pet door in the fixed interior panel.

Although the custom pet door is designed to replace common thermal pane glass, True View can customize units to fit a variety of options that include sliding windows, picture windows and swinging doors. Ask your True View Window sales rep for customization details.

Does it produce heat?
Yes, the glass itself radiates heat and provides a constant flow. GlazChips™ fire glass produces more heat than typical gas logs. Initially there is nothing blocking the radiant heat that is produced by the flame and glass.
Do Fire Glass Chips require a special fireplace?
No, the fire glass is designed to be used in a vented solid fuel-burning fireplace equipped with a gas outlet
How do I calculate how much Fire Glass Chips I need?
Follow these simple steps below along with a tape measure, calculator, pen and paper.
A. Measure (in inches) the width of your fireplace from left to right and take note of the measurement. If your fireplace is angled back, measure the middle width.
B. Measure (in inches) the depth of the fireplace, from the front to the back wall and take note of the measurement.
C. Use the calculator to multiply the width (inches) by depth (inches).
D. Multiply the total by 3 or 4 depending on how deep you want the glass to be.
E. Divide total by 19.
This final number represents how many pounds of fireglass you will need for your fireplace.
GlazChips™ and True View recommends using approximately 70% in clear fire glass as a base and the remaining 30% in the colored or reflective fire glass you prefer. This is the most cost-efficient approach and will allow you to update your color at a minimal expense.
