The Pleasant Hearth Ascot Fireplace Door is a cosmetic bi-fold style door which is compatible with and enhances a traditional masonry fireplace hearth. It has a powder-coated, high-heat, midnight black finish and a one-piece welded frame construction. It’s designed as a surface mount that sits outside the fireplace hearth and opens against a flat surface. Fireplace glass doors aid in minimizing heat loss and cool air loss up the chimney by up to 90 percent, when the fireplace is not in use. This cumulatively adds up to substantial energy savings yearly for the consumer.
Pleasant Hearth Ascot fireplace doors are solely built for masonry fireplaces and not pre-fabricated ones. When the fire is burning in the fireplace, the glass doors should be kept open while the mesh panels are closed. When you’re not enjoying a fire, simply close the clear tempered glass doors to reduce heat and cool air loss.

Common Questions and Answers
- Does it come with heat insulation?
Yes, it does. - Are the doors airtight?
No, they aren’t airtight at all. - Why are the fireplace suited only for masonry fireplaces and not pre-fabricated fireplaces?
Masonry fireplaces have a steel lintel at the top of their opening where the Ascot fireplace glass doors are mounted. This part of the masonry fireplace doesn’t exist in the pre-fabricated ones making these doors virtually unsuitable. - Are the mesh panels removable? Yes, they are. The mesh panels act as screen doors, and they open on hinges. These hinges are attached by pins. When these pins are removed, the mesh panels will come out.
- Can the product still be used for masonry fireplaces without a lintel
It would still work for the fireplace as long as the top of the opening is straight and not curved. Also, the opening size must be compatible with the unit you get.
