Fireplace Doors Create Practical Beauty?
A wood burning fireplace can be a nice addition to any room, but there are some practical considerations that need to be taken into account. An open fireplace can allow smoke and sparks to fly into the room, which can greatly reduce your enjoyment of the fire. Sparks can create unsightly burns on the floor in front of the fireplace, as well. A good way to avoid these problems is through the installation of fireplace doors. Mesh and Iron Doors Some fireplace doors allow the air to move through while they protect the room from flying sparks. Mesh and iron doors can be installed flush with the edge of the fireplace enclosure. There are types of mesh doors that run along a track and can be pulled back like curtains. Iron doors tend to be hinged so that they swing out when they are open. The doors can be highly decorative, or simple and plain. Glass Doors To create a more tightly sealed enclosure, you can install glass fireplace doors. The doors will conduct the heat from the fire so that it still warms the room, but they stop any smoke or sparks from escaping the enclosure. Glass doors also allow you an unobstructed view of the fire, so you get to enjoy the warmth and the cheery sight of burning logs without any danger of sparks ruining your floor. There are many different types of glass door arrangements that can be fitted to fireplaces of any size or shape. Portable Screens A less permanent option for covering the fireplace enclosure is a fireplace screen instead of fireplace doors. Screens are decorative as well as practical, and they completely cover the fireplace when it is not in use. Fireplace screens can be drawn back when the fire is in use, or they can be left in place to protect the room. Many people find that screens are more obstructive than fireplace doors, however, and the screens tend to be used more during the season when the fireplace is not in use. Screens don’t install directly into the fireplace enclosure, so they can be stored away when not in use, or folded and kept near the fireplace.
