Fireplace Doors And Home Inspections
Fireplace doors serve an important purpose: they protect you from flames. Fireplace doors can be glass, metal, or screens. There are advantages to glass doors. The biggest advantage is the beauty they lend to your fireplace. Glass fireplace doors slow down combustion air, and unlike metal doors, they will not be burning hot to the touch while the fire is going. Glass doors also cause fires to burn slower and last longer. The disadvantage to them, however, is that they can make chimneys dirtier.
When it comes to fireplace doors, a home inspector will look for a number of things. He or she will look to see if the doors open or close properly, if the glass is broken, and if the screen is damaged.
