Customer Comments: Need gas logs (Match-Light or Variable Remote) for 1920's Dutch Colonial home. Will be removing glass doors.
Our Comments: After our conversation and reviewing your dimensions and photos, I have determined that a 30" gas log set will fit best. The first two options are the best as they are more robust with larger diameter logs and a fuller appearance. Option #1 is the overall most realistic gas log on the market featuring burners inside the logs where flames actually come out of the logs themselves, just like real wood. There is no other gas log on the market that does this.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W (front) x 32" W (back) x 31" H x 22 1/2" D
The Grand Canyon Lava Series Features GlowFire™ log technology, the FIRST gas log system to successfully integrate burner tubes inside the logs. This causes flames to come out of the logs themselves, just like real wood. This is the most realistic gas log on the market. GlowFire™ log technology also allows for increased efficiency by using less BTU's and creating a fuller more robust flame effect. The ceramic refractory logs radiate more heat out into the room compared to a traditional concrete gas log set. Available with either on/off or variable flame electronic remote controls with a hidden control valve, so there is no unsighly big black box that is visible with other remote control gas logs (see in Option #5 below). If you can afford the very best, this is the gas log for you.
Option #1: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Lava Series Gas Logs with GlowFire™ technology (Remote Control Only). The most realistic gas logs on the market.
The Jumbo Series features a larger triple burner that produces more flames. The logs are massive, nearly double the diameter of typical gas logs. These are specifically designed for larger openings over 42".
Option #2: Grand Canyon 30" Arizona Weathered Oak Jumbo Slim Gas Logs with JUMBO Slim Burner. Shown with Match-Light Burner.
These are the main line of gas logs from Grand Canyon featuring the 3-Burner, a double burner that stands taller for larger fireplaces. These are standard diameter logs that are more affordable than the Lava and Jumbo series.
Option 3: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Arizona Weathered Oak Charred Gas Logs with BURNER-3. Shown with Match-Light Burner.
Option #4: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Arizona Weathered Oak Gas Logs with BURNER-3. Shown with Match-Light Burner.
Option #5: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Arizona Juniper Gas Logs with BURNER-3. Shown with Variable Flame Remote Control Valve (left) and Receiver (right).
Option #6: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Driftwood Gas Logs with BURNER-3. Shown with Match-Light Burner.
Option #7: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Quaking Aspen Gas Logs with BURNER-3. Shown with Match-Light Burner.
If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
