Stove rope for wood stoves

Take the old rope out of the door and measure its thickness, preferably with callipers and without compressing the rope; also measure the width of the groove. Choose the new rope about 2 mm thicker than the groove measurement, so it seals well after compression and stays in place.

A worn or damaged rope can let smoke and gases escape, with a risk of carbon monoxide indoors, and can prevent the door from closing properly. Combustion also becomes less efficient. Check the rope yearly; read here why.

For most stove doors fiberglass up to 550 °C is sufficient. Premium knitted E-glass up to 800 °C lasts longer with intensive use; basalt fibre and ceramic rope up to 1100 °C cover the hottest applications.

The same rope, different entrance: the fiberglass rope collection sorts the ropes by profile for industrial and general use.
