What is required for the front of a wood burning fireplace? Is a pull from the side mesh screen enough? I've been told they are not using glass doors anymore.
1 Answer
Woodburning fireplaces certainly still have glass doors as an option, though the doors are usually specific to the model fireplace. Most units include a pull mesh curtain screen standard.

Our surrounds are model specific and we will not have anything that precise. We would recommend you have something locally fabricated for the best fit.

I have built a indoor fireplace , stick built , covered inside and out with durarock board.i will be installing a ventless gas log set .what is the best thing to install over the durarock inside the firebox
1 Answer
Perhaps you would consider decorative firebox panels inside the fireplace.
Please see the following links:
One 24"h x 28"w Panel
Two 24" h x 40"w Panels
These panels are about 1" thick and can be cut down to the size you need with a masonry blade or tile saw. They are suitable for use as side, rear and floor panels inside any manufactured woodburning fireplace.

What's the difference between a fireplace front and a fireplace frame?
1 Answer
Generally speaking, a fireplace front will cover some of the firebox facing while a fireplace frame or surround will cover any gaps left during the finishing phase of installation. Please note that all of the frames and surrounds offered on our site will be manufacturer and model-specific to the fireplaces we also advertise on our site and would only work if you currently own one of these models.

How do I actually attach the surround to the wall? I am trying to make a fake fireplace and there is not a gas fireplace inset or furnace inside my current wood burning fireplace. May I use liquid nails to "stick the surround to the wall?" Thank you.
1 Answer
You might want to use a RTV silicone, in case you ever decide to use the fireplace again.

I have a 29 inch wide by 23 inch tall marble wood burning fireplace. I am looking for a facing surround for this size.
1 Answer
Unfortunately, the facings and surrounds advertised on our website are specific to certain fireplaces we also offer and will not be universal. I recommend having something fabricated locally.

How do I find sizes of the openings?

How do I determine what size face to purchase?
1 Answer
The fireplace facings and surrounds that we carry are all intended to be used with specific models of fireplaces and inserts. You will definitely need to know that manufacturer name and model number of the fireplace to determine what parts will work with the unit. There should be a build tag or sticker with the unit, either just inside the opening at the left or right side, or in the void space beneath the firebox floor.
