Designer Glass-Fronted Fireplace with Traditional Mantel
The fireplace is built neatly into the wall, with the base positioned flush to the floor for a clean and integrated finish. The wide glazed front provides a generous view of the flame, while the brick-lined chamber and traditional surround introduce texture, depth and a more established architectural character.
Shown here as a gas fire, the design can also be specified as a wood-burning or bioethanol fireplace, depending on the technical and design requirements of the project. Its glass-fronted construction delivers high heat output and greater efficiency than an open-fronted fireplace.
Available in a range of sizes and configurations, the fireplace, mantel and internal finishes can be tailored to suit the proportions and style of the room.

FAQ’s
A glass-fronted gas fireplace is a sealed fire with a heat-resistant glass panel, allowing clear flame visibility while controlling combustion. At Modus Fireplaces, these are designed to combine refined aesthetics with high efficiency and precise performance
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.
