Enclosing Open Fireplace.
I have a large brick open fire place approx. 950 mm wide 850 high and 800 deep.
Because in the past I have had access to plenty of firewood I have not been concerned too much about the loss of efficiency. However, now wood is likely to become scarcer for me in the future I was thinking about putting a glass front on it to improve the efficiency.
Years ago i think i saw something similar in some old English renovator's magazines. is what I am contemplating an achievable project or do we have to get a complete fire box and have it inserted by professional fireplace fitters.
Is their somewhere in Australia that might specialize in these products other then the normal fireplace companies like Jetmaster etc.
