Tips For Installing Glass Fireplace Doors
There are many reasons you might want to install glass doors on your fireplace. Maybe you are tired of the sliding fireplace screen that screeches when you move it across the rails. Maybe you want another layer of protection from flying embers. Whatever your reason is for wanting glass fireplace doors, we have the article you need to learn how to install them.
The first step to install glass fireplace doors is deciding which ones you need. It might seem silly to have to say this, but you can't pick any door you want and force it to fit. Masonry fireplaces, or those built on-site out of stone or brick, have the largest selection of doors to choose from.
The glass doors made to fit these fireplaces come with a purpose-built frame that adjusts to whatever the width of your fireplace opening is. You can choose from bi-fold, sliding barn-style doors or cabinet style.
If you have a pre-fabricated fireplace, or a model that slides into an opening in the wall, your only option is to get doors made by the same manufacturer that made your fireplace. This is the only way to ensure the correct sizing and/or proper airflow for your appliance.
