Product Variants of ROBAX®
Flat ROBAX® panels
Clear views of a real fire are the trademark feature of ROBAX® panels, and the flat model is no exception. This glass-ceramic is supremely transparent, with very little residual natural coloring thanks to SCHOTT’s precise production process.

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. Cut-to-size panels are available in a wide range of sizes in thicknesses of 4 mm or 5 mm.

Functional ROBAX® panels
Functional ROBAX® panels comprise four coatings to heighten your fireplace experience. Usually applied on the outside of the panel, the special features of these coatings can be recognized by their slight color.
CHARACTERISTICS
ROBAX® IR Max reflects heat back into the combustion chamber (the panel should be installed with the coating facing away from the fire). It produces powerful and effective heating. ROBAX® IR SuperMax is our next development step for heat reflective coatings. Both are available with decoration. ROBAX® TrueView is an anti-reflective optical coating on both sides of the panel and is suitable for gas fireplaces. It creates the impression that there's no glass at all. ROBAX® Mirror is a reflective coating, with the mirror effect working with the coating on the outside of the panel.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- ROBAX® IR SuperMax is our most efficient heat-reflective coating with a pyrolisis-like effect for less soot and less cleaning. German Innovation Award winner 2021.
- Also ROBAX® IR Max reduces the amount of heat outside the fireplace, providing a pleasant room temperature, increasing overall efficiency and reducing emissions.
- By eliminating reflections, ROBAX® TrueView offers a clear view of the flames.
- ROBAX® Mirror turns the panel into a mirror when the fire is out, but presents a superb view when it's burning.
