Being Enviro-friendly is the new thing. so this is part of being universally conscious and responsible. its just a door, you might say. But its oh so much more. trust me.

Another thought that a lot of people have is that when you burn with the glass doors closed, it helps radiate some of the heat back into the room.

Though closing the doors will help stop some of your conditioned air from going up the flue, a fireplace glass door should not be seen as a source of radiant heat. If you want to get more heat out of your fireplace, consider adding a Fireplace Heater. There are many to choose from - including fireplace blowers that will work in conjunction with a fireplace glass door. A great model that is very compatible with glass doors is the Cozy Grate Fireplace Heater. Many times this heater can be added to existing glass doors - assuming that you can raise the entire glass door frame up by 1-3/8" (so that the front of the Cozy Grate can sit underneath the frame of the door). Or, you can simply order a door that will accommodate the Cozy Grate - like The Legend Fireplace Glass Door.

Bottom line, if you're looking to transform your fireplace from a heating liability to a positive energy source, combining a glass door with a fireplace heater is one of the most affordable and visually rewarding ways to do it!
