Rutland Products 1111 Fireplace Insert Insulation Fiberglass, 1-1/2-Inch by 10-Feet, 1-1/2" x 10', Yellow, Model:105

Installed easy and reduced the draft between our fireplace doors and the brick to almost nothing.

I needed a better seal between a fireplace glass screen and the brick. This worked very well. No issues with adhesion. It will come apart if handled to much-- hard to stitch fibers that well in such a small application.

Although I checked the dimensions before purchasing, the filler was less dense than expected. Will need to order another to ensure a tighter fit. The adhesive works well even when making adjustments. Because of the lighter color, it was important to ensure the insulation was fully tucked.

Easy to install

I was looking for this item locally but the stores did not have it.This was ideal. It has a width of about 1.5 inches. The adhesive does stick to anything and that is what I wanted. The fiberglass wool strip does not fall apart and it a little more than an inch thick. I placed the strips of fiberglass wool on the fireplace metalframe and pushed the frame with the doors onto the brick structure. I sealed the frame to the brick with high heat clear silicone sealer which was available online. It tolerates heat to 500 degrees. No smoke leaks out into the home. I also put in a new damper which I found at Amazon.com and it came in caste iron for the exact size of the original. It slipped into the slot in less than a minute and it has been working fine since weeks. As an after thought, I should mention that I bolted the frame back into the fireplace opening with the old bolts into the same holes. The silicone sealer was just for good measure and I do not like smoke coming into the house.

I am a fan of Rutland products, but this isn't one of their better ones. The adhesion that holds on the insulation is fine, but the insulation itself is in layers of fiberglass and literally falls apart. I stuck it on the woodstove plate, pushed it back into the fireplace, and then took a 4" putty knife and carefully tucked in the insulation that fell out.Rutland could fix this issue by simply using a fiberglass cloth rather than layered insulation. I will look around next time. And there will BE a next time for sure, because this stuff will fall apart when I pull the stove next spring. If you find a better product please comment to this review and let me know what you found.

Amazed at how;; much it helped seal my fireplace insert wood burning stove after I removed all the old, very old, insulation and installed this new. I doubled up on mine by running to widths of the new. Be sure to removed all the old ruminants. Be careful as the new is easy to pull lose from the tape that holds it to its on tape. This eliminated the old order from the chimney. Will definitely apply new again next season.

I bought this previously to seal in a fireplace insert wood stove. I was not impressed with any of its qualities but this second time, several years later, and the product is now completely worthless. As others now note, it does not stick to clean dry surfaces. And even worse, the insulation is so poorly constructed that it falls apart under its own weight. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL REGRET IT!
