Hello,
We have an installation in which we will be placing a 1/4" thick mirror which spans 7ft across and 5ft in height directly next to a "line of fire" (a gas pipe with holes which will have a flame approximately 6" in height).
Our concern is that when the line of fire is turned on in the winter (when the mirror is cold) the sudden temperature change will crack the mirror. We were thinking of placing the line of fire 12" from the mirror but I was wondering if anyone knows a way that we can calculate this to determine whether the mirror is in danger of cracking from sudden temperature changes.
Thank you!
