Can I use a screen instead of a glass door to cover the gas fireplace? Would that be according to Code?
1 Answer
The only state-wide code requirements that we are aware of pertain to wood burning stoves and fireplaces and a statewide ban on standing pilot lights and ventless gas systems. If you are asking if a screen may be placed on a direct vent gas system instead of the solid pane of tempered or ceramic glass these fireplaces are required to have in place for operation, this would result in the fireplace not functioning properly and could result in carbon monoxide entering the home.
