Electric Fireplace Inserts with Custom Surrounds for Arched Brick Fireplace - Project #20872

Customer Comments: Wanting to buy an Electric fireplace insert for our ARCHED FIREPLACE. The measurement is 36 1/4" W x 27 H BACKWALL is 30" DEPTH 21" Also if we purchase one what is the length of the cord? We need a cord 10' to 12' long.

Our Comments: Electric fireplaces generally do not come with cords longer than 6 feet. If your socket is further away, you will most likely need to hire an electrician to add a plug closer to, or inside the fireplace. Your arched bricks do not necessarily require an arched surround since the opening is rectangular. Here are some examples of electric inserts with standard rectangular surrounds and custom arched surrounds.

Fireplace Opening: 36 1/4" W x 27" H

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.

Glass Options

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.
