A powder-coated, welded steel frame, tempered glass, and included mesh screen guarantee top-notch performance and safety for years to come. 

Key Features: 

The Ardmore’s modern, trackless bi-fold design opens 180 degrees for a full view of the flames. Easy-grip handles help you tend to the fire as needed, while a hidden damper lets you control the amount of warmth your fireplace puts out.
