ABOUT FIREPLACE DOORS

Fireplace Doors can be installed as part of a new fireplace, or can be added to an existing fireplace. They are ususally made of glass. One purpose of Fireplace Doors is to prevent the escape of warm air up the flue when the fire has died down or is not in use. Another purpose is that they can control the flow of air into the fireplace, and help it to draw effectively. They are usually provided in brass or aluminium frames, which are available in a wide range of finishes.
