Three Reasons Why You Should Have Fireplace Doors
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Stephanie_Hobbs]Stephanie Hobbs

Installing fireplace doors on your fireplace can have many benefits for you and your family. Most people aren't aware of the many advantages there are by owning a set of fireplace doors.

Here are three great reasons why having fireplace doors in your home will be beneficial to you and your family:

1) Energy Efficiency

Having glass fireplace doors will keep cold air from entering through the chimney and help keep warm air from escaping out. Fireplace doors have been known to reduce air loss up the chimney by 90%. Make sure to keep your fireplace doors closed when you are not burning a fire so that you can gain maximum efficiency from them. Having fireplace doors will keep more heat inside your home, and keep your gas bill lower.

2) Safety

Having fireplace doors is a great safety precaution to have in your home. Here are some reasons why:

- Keeps small children and pets out of the fireplace and out of harms way

- Glass doors will contain any sparks, hot ashes, and other debris within the fireplace - instead of on your carpet

- Prevents any pests that may enter through your chimney from gaining entry into your home

3) Décor

Installing fireplace doors is a great way to make your fireplace look complete. There are an endless number of fireplace door designs and colors - you can purchase a door that will complement your decor. There are many different options ranging from metal types to colors. You can personalize your doors to fit your style. It is a great way to tie in your fireplace with the rest of your home.

Fireplace doors are a great investment. Conserving heat now will save you money on your gas bill later. There is nothing stopping you from maximizing your fireplace's efficiency and usage.
