Custom Glass Fireplace Doors
When you are decorating for the holidays or cleaning the house to make room for guests this season, it’s the perfect time to make changes to your fireplace. If you’re tired of the drab look of your old masonry fireplace, or want to upgrade your old insert, you don’t have to buy a whole new system. Custom glass doors can be just the thing your fireplace is missing. Not only do glass doors offer a fireplace face-lift, but also have great benefits that will save you time and money!
Save Energy with Custom Glass Doors
Conditioned air and heated air is lost up the chimney year-round, costing homeowners hundreds of dollars each year in wasted utilities. Glass doors close tightly, preventing drafts that affect the home’s temperature. They also raise efficiency of the fireplace by twice, meaning less wood has to be burned to reach a desired temperature.
Upgrade Your Fireplace with Custom Glass Doors
One of the biggest complaints we see at Beach Stove and Fireplace are homeowners unhappy with unsightly louvers. That’s why we install custom glass doors that cover them, so you don’t have to see them. You can choose glass doors that complement your décor and personality and completely transform your old insert or fireplace at the same time.
Control Heat and Fire with Custom Glass Doors
If you don’t have a gas fireplace, you don’t have the convenience of temperature control or an easy on/off switch. When you have custom glass doors, though, you can control your fire by closing the doors and keeping the sparks, smoke, and heat inside. This is also a great way to decrease the heat quickly when your house is full and temps are rising. Glass doors still allow ambient heat into the room, however, so you can still benefit from your fire.
Keep Children and Pets Safe with Custom Glass Doors
When the fire is out, close your glass doors so that small animals don’t get into your fireplace. Use the doors to prevent children from getting too near or falling into the fire. Glass will still get hot, but doors will prevent falls into the fire, preventing severe burns and life-threatening injuries. Screens can get hot and become difficult to open and close. Glass doors are easier to open and close, with handles that don’t burn your hands, and will not fall over the way that screens and gates can.
Finally, glass fireplace doors will hide your mess. If your fire has been burning for a few days and you don’t want to smell the odors from your unlit fireplace, dispose of the unburned wood, or clean out the ash just yet, you can close the doors and no one will know! This is especially nice before you have visitors.
