Frequently Asked Questions - Enclosures
Contact your local dealer, or if one is not available fill out the information in the Ironhaus configurator for your elite masonry enclosure. An Ironhaus representative will contact you.
Masonry fireplace doors do not require a UL rating because all masonry fireplaces are different. Make sure your fireplace doors are inspected by an expert before safely installing the glass.
Neoceram will not break due to thermal changes and radiates more heat; it is also more expensive. Neoceram is highly recommended in cold winter climates.
Of course, choose either neoceram or tempered glass then choose the inset mesh option which is an independent set of doors.
You can opt for combining screen and glass in one panel resulting in a glass surface that is tones down by screen in front of it. Or you can order replacement screen panels.

Backflanges protrude back from the door, face towards the unit. You can determine your ideal backflange depth by taking the depth of the facing that is to be applied around the doors and subtracting your desired amount of recess from the doors to your facing. Ironhaus suggests a recess of at least 3” on arched doors.
Outflanges are connected to the backflange at the point of connection with the fireplace unit. These flanges are used to fasten the enclosure to the fireplace. If you are putting the enclosure on a new masonry fireplace then you may need to request long outflanges, depending on how far it is from the inside of the firebox to a solid surface that you will be able to fasted them to. Ironhaus will not knowingly provide outflanges to facilitate application to an unapproved manufactured fireplace.
Ironhaus Uses a heavy ¼” thick steel in the majority of its enclosure construction. We typically use 1/8” steel to create the outflanges, this saves you on weight, cost and space.
