fireplace door, fire place doorGlass metal doors face screen on fireplace: Glass doors add beauty and charm to the fireplace. They also serve a useful purpose by allowing the slowing down of combustion air to the fire. This allows the fire to burn slower and longer. It is often noted that where glass or metal doors are installed, the incidence of dirty chimneys increases. Metal doors are almost always found on wood burning stoves. These doors can get very hot. Use caution while the fireplace or stove is in use. It is common for the doors to fall to the floor and burn carpets, etc. A face screen is an absolute must on a fireplace. Without one, the hot embers may pop out onto the carpet or onto some other combustible object resulting in a fire. Keep the screen closed at all times while a fire is burning and while embers are hot. Masonry chimneys Metal chimneys Direct vent chimneys
