Questions & Answers
The answer is yes. Regular mesh shower curtains are like shower curtains but are smaller than the mesh ones. The screen door is a bit more like this. Their hinges open on one side and they both open on the other side. The hinges will come out when the pins are removed from the hinges.
We definitely notice a difference in wind noise and cold or hot air that we used to get a lot before installation, as it's pretty tight, but it's not "sealed", but there is some feeling of security to it. There is also a high probability that they will take care of the smoke smell as well.
The answer is yes. To be honest, I had no idea what I would or would not need, so I purchased some with my purchase, and now I have a brand new roll of insulation that I am unable to use. If you don't have a lot of room, you may only need fireplace caulk to fill any gaps you may have on the outsides of the frame. Regardless of how much space you have or don't have, these doors come with everything you need, as for mine anyway.
As long as the top of your opening is straight (from top to bottom) and not curved, and if the size of your opening is suitable for the unit you may get, it should work. My lintel doesn't really make any difference at all to the way my door opens. Instead, the opening size determines the type of door so I could make some small adjustments. Moreover, I don't have a lintel for my fireplace My only adjustment was to in place of using the brackets they sent with the unit, I drilled four 5/16" holes on the four corners of the unit (evenly spaced) and used four 1/4" stainless steel screws about 3" long, and then To attach the screws to the wood studs on the outside edges of the box, I drove them into the wood studs If your walls are built of brick or masonry, you can do the same thing, but you may need to position concrete anchors that will hold the screws. The screws were originally going to be painted black to match the face of the unit, but I liked how the silver screws looked after we were done, so I left them that way. As well, I believe my unit is much more secure after I mounted it this way.

It is misrepresented. Having read all my concerns, please let me know what you think of them. Good conditions were experienced during delivery of the package. I found the instructions in the box once I opened it. According to the instructions, bolded in the instructions, don't close the glass doors when there's a fire in the fireplace. There were no photos of a fire in the hearth on the manufacturer's website, yet all photos of a closed glass door were found on the manufacturer's web site. Advertisements portrayed this product as a way to save energy when the front As a result, I called the manufacturer to address my concerns. What the heck? That was a very bad move. Having returned the glass door, I have it in my hands now. As Santa will not have to negotiate awkward glass doors, you might consider buying a set. Just be sure not to close the doors when there's a fire. I think the device is mismarketed as a heat saving device.
I am giving the rating of four stars so I can warn others Perhaps a prefabricated fireplace is in your house and you are not aware of it. It may also be possible to buy a metal vent-look frame or grill for your fireplace (e. It is a mixture of brick, not purely brick), *even if it is built into your walls *, you absolutely need to Google "how to tell pre-" Before you order this door, make sure you know what "fabricated fireplace" means. After getting half way through my assembly, I realized I had to return it, a The return was handled by Amazon, and I'm grateful for their help. For those of us who are dumb enough to think that just means inserts that are removable or standalone furniture, there are fabricated fireplaces. For clarity, I believe they should provide this even if it is just as a courtesy to idiots like me, and to save both customers and themselves headaches when it comes to return. It is not their responsibility as the sole liable party.
At a fireplace store, we got a quote of around $1500 for the features of this product. It cost me less than 20% of that to get these doors and I think they look good. My brick nearly touches the glass when it opens and folds. We used to have curtain screens on the windows, but these are so much easier to use.
The instructions are simple to follow. It is easy to install this if you can read English and have a screwdriver. recommend that you have a 2nd pair of hands to hold the doors in place while you screw however, this is not necessary.
My only complaint is the amount of insulation that was not included. The long way around I had to peel it in half and piece it back
Tip if I were them, I would measure another 2 feet for each piece and raise the price by an extra dollar or two. You will need to get more insulation for the edges of the house to get a perfect installation. It's best to close the door if you don't want to see the fire light coming from the side. As well as the gap between the brick and the door, there will be a larger gap where the mortar will be applied. If you prefer, you can go up to 2" without any issues. I suggest 1" wide (but 2" is perfectly fine if that's what you prefer). A roll of it can be purchased on Amazon. As an alternative, you can use high heat mortar, but who has that kind of time? In addition, it's a more permanent solution, and I don't want to have to chip it off in the future if I decide to change the doors. As well as wearing gloves when working with fiberglass, I recommend it. There is no skin-friendly aspect to it. There is one more thing that I think is important to note Most of the 0 stars on here are for people being disappointed that they can't close the glass doors when there's a fire. This is a common complaint with any glass door around a fire. When you're looking for glass doors for your fireplace, don't let that stop you from making this choice.
Although it appears to be a great fireplace, installation can be tricky, despite all those reviewers who seem to have the perfect arrangement. The brackets for standard installation require a narrow lentil with a place for the bracket to grab. The lentil support for my bricks is the full width of the brick, but in my case, it was limited by the brick width, and I had no other choice. As an alternative, you can drill a 7/32 inch hole through an 1/8 inch piece of hard steel (the lentil) with a 7/32 inch bit. Make sure you have a brand new cobalt drill bit 7/32 inch in diameter. Once the bracket is securely attached to the lentil, you will need to use 1/2 inch machine screws provided by them. It would be better if they had used 5/8 inches for those screws, as 1/2 inch is a bit short for snugly cinching them. As the lentil on my table was very slightly slanted on one side, not only did I have to use a longer machine screw, I also had to shimm the bracket to ensure that it did not deflect I'm in a tizzy. Sorry about that. The reason for this is hard Let me just say that the installation may not be as simple as some have supposed. While you may want to attempt installation if you are handy, if your fireplace does not allow the use of the primary method, perhaps you should hire someone to help you adapt the fireplace to achieve the desired look. Here's another thing to think about. It is just about adequate to provide insulation. The paper is not I give this unit 4. 5 stars due to its looks and reasonable price, but it has some hardware deficiencies that keep it from being a 5 star device.
