Abstract

See full text

A front surround or enclosure for overlying the open front of a fireplace box is disclosed. The enclosure has a relatively narrow peripheral frame that carries one or a plurality of glass panels that substantially fill the enclosed area defined by the outer frame. The glass panels may be rigidly secured to the frame or can be configured as operable doors. Patterns configured by silk screening or other application techniques are selectively applied, preferably to the inner surface(s), of the glass panel(s) to enhance visual appeal of the glass and/or to selectively mask the viewer's vision through the glass. Quick release brackets are provided for detachably securing the enclosure to the front of a fireplace box.
