The type of fireplace you have will determine the right glass door for it.  Glass fireplace doors serve a very specific purpose. A good fitting glass door helps to seal the fireplace opening, thus providing a valuable benefit in reducing smoke emission. In addition, having a downdraught is a problem that can be found in many fireplaces and is due to the chimney terminal having an incorrect height in correlation to the roof or even trees and buildings located nearby. In this case, the glass fireplace door can help to stop any incoming cold air, thus keeping the house warm and making the fireplace more efficient.

In the past few years, special thermal insulated glass doors have been designed providing even greater benefit. In addition to keeping hot ash from spilling out onto your carpet and creating a potential fire hazard, this type of glass door is perfect for retaining heat, even after the fire is out.

A masonry fireplace, one constructed of brick and mortar, has a brick chimney while a pre-fabricated fireplace will have a metal firebox, and the chimney will be made of metal piping. The masonry fireplace will use glass doors designed specifically for that type while a pre-fabricated fireplace, also called a zero-clearance fireplace, will use a different type of door. Keep in mind that while you might think that glass doors are interchangeable, they are not.

Many people still think their only option for a glass fireplace door is just clear glass, which is untrue. Today’s designs offer variety, something to enhance any room décor. Now you can purchase glass in color tints, with two popular choices, smoke and gray. The advantages of these two choices are that they offer a beautiful finish and do not show soot as much as clear doors. Best of all when a fire is burning, the glow of the logs and embers are breathtaking and when no fire is burning, the tint helps to hide the interior of the fireplace, giving a clean appearance.
