If you have an open fireplace, the addition of glass doors is an important consideration. The most important function of glass doors is to reduce heat loss from your home. Without glass doors, an open fireplace damper is a floodgate, through which your home's warm air flows. It also serves as a drain on your checkbook, as a look at your heating expenses will show. Even with a closed damper, glass doors serve as a second line of defense against energy loss. Closed glass doors also guard against sparks and burning embers, as does the fine mesh safety screens when the doors are open. There are as many styles of glass doors as there are consumer desires and custom doors that can be made to fit any size or shape of fireplace.
