Glass Enclosure OptionsUpdated 22 days ago
The beauty of Aquafire is you get the glow and ambiance of a traditional fire without the added danger that traditional fires bring. There is no need to protect yourself or other people from the flames by installing a glass wall or fireplace grate. In fact, completely enclosing the fireplace hearth and/or burner in glass can create condensation as the vapor flames are not able to dissipate into the ambient air. If you need to put glass in front of the Aquafire, we strongly recommend a removable half glass wall or a glass structure with openings at the top or bottom so that fresh air can get to the top vents of the Aquafire and so the vapor flames can dissipate. It needs to be removable to allow for cleaning and service.
A half or pony glass wall can be useful in a couple of scenarios:
- You have a strong air current or draft that is affecting the flame height.
- You need to protect the Aquafire from guests/visitors reaching into or putting things into the fireplace.
- It is a see-through fireplace that has one side exposed to the outdoors. In that case, you could put a complete glass wall on one side and have the other open to the indoor space.
