The only glass you will get is that supplied by the OEM and specific
to the fire.

An alternative is the traditional mica sheet.

This may not be of use in your fire though as it is not structural in
any way, unlike pyrex glass.

I managed to get replacements for my stove by making a paper template and taking to the local glass
supplier (Truro Glass).

They cut a replacement from stove glass complete with lead around the edges for a neat fit and it
wasn't that expensive.

Measure and look on ebay (stove glass) or google, there's a few suppliers
out there....
