Sealed Glass Fronts for Brick Fireplace - Project #20117

Customer Comments: The actual fireplace opening is 34"x27" It currently has an elec fireplace insert that slides in. In an effort to keep out the mold spores I have used duct tape to seal the entrance. I do not want to open it up until I have the glass front available to install. My daughter is very ill from a mild illness. There is no need for doors, just heavy glass preferably shatter proof. I will never use the fireplace again. So it doesn't need to open. If it would be possible to sink a receptacle into the brick so it would be possible to remove the screws if needed and then screw it back in place so as to not harm the brick or mortar. The backing gasket has to seal well when installed.

Our Comments: Here are examples of sealed off glass panes that can be installed using screws through the frame directly into the brick fascia. There are many decorative options in all 3 materials, but this will give you a general feel for what can be done.

Fireplace Opening: 34" W x 27" H
