FIREPLACE GLASS DOOR
Fireplace doors and accessories can certainly perk up your living space.
They can help to turn an ordinary-looking fireplace into something extraordinary.
In fact, you might be amazed at how the atmosphere in your living room
or family room changes, once you have purchased a new fireplace door and
accessory.
A Work of Art
If your fireplace currently has plain glass doors, you might never have
thought of fireplace screens as being a work of art—but they certainly
can be. For instance, a stained glass fireplace screen can really liven
up a room. The screen acts as a lovely prism for the flames and can even
add a dramatic touch to your fireplace when you don’t have your fire
going. The heavy-gauge glass is beveled, stained, and tempered for a pleasing
look. Meanwhile, the frame is hand-forged from solid steel, making it highly
durable. The screen is also finished in a long-lasting powder coat of antiqued
pewter. What’s more, the screen can be completely assembled in only
ten minutes.
The Tiffany Look
If you love the look of Tiffany glass, consider a Meyda Tiffany screen.
Because of the natural variation in the glass and finish, each unit is considered
to be classic artwork. In order to determine the correct size for your fireplace,
you should add about 10 to 12 inches to the actual width of your fireplace
opening. The screen should be three to five inches taller than the fireplace
opening.
 Are
New Glass Doors a Worthwhile Investment?
Of course, you might be wondering whether new glass doors for your fireplace
are a worthwhile investment. It is true that new fireplace doors or a new
screen is not likely to increase the value of your home. Therefore, from
a purely financial standpoint, new glass for your fireplace may seem like
a luxury.
However, new glass can be aesthetically pleasing. The glass can add a touch
of class to your living room or family room. It can also be chosen in order
to complement the colors of the room. Ornate fireplace glass can quickly
become a treasured decorator item in your home. |
