Glass Doors for Zero Clearance Fireplace with Stacked Stone Surround - Project #10747

Customer Comments: Good morning! We have an older zero clearance fireplace kit. We would like to purchase doors for it. Preferably in black. We are remodeling this room, so the view is not ideal. :) Opening is 20.5 x 38 inches. I look forward to speaking with someone!

Our Comments: We recommend either the Brookfield ZC or Legend ZC. Both of these doors will overlap the black metal opening. The Brookfield can overlap up to 3/4" while the Legend can be made to overlap any amount. The most finished look would be with the Legend as it can be made to come right close to the stone and you can fill the remaining gap with mortar as shown in Option #2. We have included measuring instructions for the Legend Door. To measure for the Brookfield we only need H1 and W1

Fireplace Opening: 38" W x 20 1/2" H

Before

Before:

Low End Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

Brookfield

Option #1: Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

Legend

Option #2: Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron. Made with Custom Frame Dimension To Fit Stone Opening.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.

Glass Options

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
