WHAT ARE STOVE MICA WINDOWS?
Stove mica windows are made from Muscovite mica, a naturally occurring mineral known for its exceptional heat resistance and clarity. Historically, mica was one of the first materials used for this purpose, prized for its stability and transparency under extreme conditions.
At Axim Mica, we continue this tradition by offering windows that combine time-tested durability with modern design—available in standard sizes or custom-made to fit any stove.
