About Pleasant Hearth
Pleasant Hearth makes the pieces that go in and around a fireplace, sized so you can measure once and order the one that fits. The brand belongs to GHP Group, Inc. and has been on the market since 2006.
What we make, and for which fireplaces
Most of what we make starts at the fireplace opening. Our glass doors fit masonry, wood-burning fireplaces, the kind built of brick or stone on site, and they do not install on factory-built fireplaces with a metal firebox. In front of the opening stand our screens (three-panel, single-panel with doors, or glass), and inside it sit our steel and cast iron grates.
Around the hearth come the tool sets, pokers, ash buckets, coal hods and log holders, and out in the yard the log racks, fire pits and propane fire pit tables. For gas, the Pleasant Hearth catalog holds vented log sets for a working fireplace, vent-free log sets, stoves and fireplace systems, zero-clearance fireboxes, and one electric fireplace, the Henley.
Three door sizes, and collections that match
The Pleasant Hearth team sizes most of its doors in three steps rather than by the inch. Small and Medium fit openings 30 to 37 inches wide, Small from 22.5 inches high and Medium up to 32.5. Large fits openings 36 to 43 inches wide. With two readings of width and two of height, you know which size to open before you look at a single finish.
Screens, tool sets and log holders share collection names instead. Gothic, Classic, Mission Style, Harper, Sheffield, Waverly, Selene and Atticus each pair a screen with a tool set in the same finish. Preston and Orion pair a tool set with a log holder. That is the Pleasant Hearth approach to the hearth: you can build it one piece at a time and still end up with a matched set.
Who stands behind Pleasant Hearth
Pleasant Hearth is a brand of GHP Group, Inc., a US company that makes and distributes hearth, heating, grill, fire pit and outdoor living products under several brand names. Fireplace doors, screens, grates and hearth tools make up the Pleasant Hearth family of products.
The brand has been on the market since 2006, which makes 20 years of fireplace seasons. Our pieces reach you through our retail partner: the buy button on each model opens it there, and checkout, shipping and returns happen on their side.
How to get the right piece the first time
Measure before you choose: width at the top and at the bottom of the opening, height at both sides, and the smaller number of each. Our fireplace door sizing guide goes through each reading and what to do when two sizes both cover it. Small, Medium and Large read the same way in every the people behind Pleasant Hearth collection that uses them.
Then think about what burns, and where. Glass doors stay open with the mesh closed while a fire burns, since the Chimney Safety Institute of America ties closed glass doors to faster creosote. Anything that can burn, a log holder included, stays at least three feet from the fireplace, as NFPA advises. The rules for vent-free gas sit with the vent-free models, and How we update explains how we keep the catalog current.

Are Pleasant Hearth glass doors made for your kind of fireplace?

How do you choose between Pleasant Hearth collections?
Let the fireplace decide the size first, then pick a finish and a collection name. The same names repeat across screens, tool sets and log holders, so a Gothic or Preston piece you add later sits well with the first one.
