Glass Fronted Fireplaces
Our contemporary glass-fronted gas fires combine high-efficiency heating with clean, architectural design. Engineered for controlled performance and a clear view of the flame, each fireplace can be seamlessly integrated into feature walls, bespoke joinery and contemporary interiors, with proportions and finishes tailored to its setting.

FAQ’s
A glass-fronted fireplace is a sealed fire with a heat-resistant glass panel across the opening. It offers high efficiency, controlled heat output, improved safety, and a clean, uninterrupted view of the flame.
Not necessarily. Glass-fronted fireplaces do offer significantly higher efficiency, compared to open fires, while maintaining a clean view of the flame. Whether they are ‘better’ or not depends on your specific requirements.
Yes. Glass-fronted fireplaces are designed to retain and distribute heat efficiently, making them suitable as both a visual feature and a functional heat source when correctly specified. Compared to an open fronted fireplace, glass fronted fires have a far higher heat output than open fronted fires which may not always be a requirement.
All fireplaces should be used with appropriate care and caution. Whereas an open fire has an exposed naked flame, a glass fronted gas fire has glass that will heat up to very high levels i.e 250’C which can also pose a risk. We can propose and incorporate elements to help mitigate any risks and concerns around the fireplace





Architectural fireplaces, designed without precedent
If you can conceive it, we can deliver it. That is what Modus does best. Working closely with our in-house design team, and in collaboration with Europe's leading manufacturers, we develop fireplaces that respond precisely to the architecture, materiality, and intent of each project. The result is a fireplace tailor-made for its setting, and for no other.
Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.
Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.
We work as an extension of the project team, from concept through to commissioning, so the fireplace sits within the architecture rather than against it.
