My Wish List
We often think about fire safety when it comes to fireplaces, but what about Burns?
Contact burns , especially to the hands, can happen in an instant. It is recommended that fireplaces with glass doors not be used while children are present.
Glass-fronted gas fireplaces can reach 392°F/ 200°C within 6.5 minutes of ignition and remain dangerously hot for more than 12 minutes after the unit is turned off.
Existing glass fireplace doors should be retrofitted with barrier screens or hearth steps.
