Contemporary Glass-Fronted Wood Fireplace with Guillotine Door
The fireplace is integrated into a bespoke joinery base, while decorative metal side panels introduce texture and an additional architectural detail. The joinery, metalwork and fireplace proportions can be tailored to complement the materials and design language of the wider interior.
As a glass-fronted wood fire, the fireplace delivers high heat output and efficient performance, making it a strong choice for interiors where both visual impact and effective heating are required.
Similar fireplace designs can also be developed as gas or bioethanol fires, providing greater flexibility to suit the technical requirements of each project.
Key features
2. Vertically opening guillotine glass door
3. High heat output and efficient performance
4. Bespoke joinery base with decorative metal panels
5. Also available as a gas or bioethanol fire
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.
