    Answer
    John M.
    from Carlsbad, NM asked:
    August 29, 2022
    Does this come with a glass front or door?
    1 Answer
    When you configure the unit on our website, it will ask you for the option of decorative screened doors and frames to mount them. This being a vent-free unit, it does not have glass enclosures as an option as the unit pulls air from the room to feed the fire. It ships standard with a solid screened front.
