This chapter describes important refractory developments and leads through the evolution of refractory for glass furnaces. In addition to the most important developments of fused cast products, examples for certain furnace assemblies will be given, e.g., melter bottom, melter crown including the development of the insulation concepts, regenerator checker pack and casing. The chapter also describes how the lining concepts had been changed over the decades and how the refractories contributed to the improvements in glass melting technology. The glass contact area is one of the most critical parts of a glass furnace as it is holding the entire glass melt and it has a direct impact on the glass quality. It's been at least 70 years that silica is in use for melter crown construction. REFERENCES 1. F.
