Customer Comments: Hello, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to return this fireplace to a traditional wood burning one and if so purchase one of your custom screens for it. The fireplace originally functioned as a traditional fireplace for many years before my father had the Earth Stove insert put in. I can remove this fairly easily as it slides out, however I noticed that the interior has a heavy metal (cast iron?) lining which I don't know if that needs to come out as well? It covers the entire back and sides though it is about an inch short of the front bricks where the space between is filled with fiberglass. Please see attached photos. Any recommendations you might have will be very much appreciated.
Our Comments: As we discussed via email, this is a heatilator fireplace and there are no issues adding a fireplace screen or glass doors. I have created some mockups to show you how a few options might look that I recommend.
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 temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Before:
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron. These can be made with mesh doors or glass doors with mesh doors behind the glass. These are very heavy duty and the glass doors are gasketed for a tighter seal and maximum draft reduction. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. The forging process produces a unique texture that you cannot get with laser cut steel and there are added hammered textures that can be for a more rustic applications. These doors are commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring hot fires with the doors closed.

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.
