Customer Comments: There is no damper in the gas log fireplace. I keep some cardboard wedged in place when not in use which is 99% of the time. I was told I could not have damper installed due to code. I woud like to know if custom glass doors would do the trick and keep heat/AC from going up the chimney. I was thinking of something to match our black iron railings on the stairs. We have new furniture (covered due to old pet) and a new rug on the way, more contemporary and much lighter. Thanks.
Our Comments: Glass doors will certainly solve your problem and are always recommended when adding gas logs. Here are a few examples.

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.
