Solid Brass Glass Doors for Fireplace - Project #10781

Customer Comments: The dimensions of the fireplace opening are 47 inches wide and 37 inches tall. It is a full masonry wood burning fireplace but has a propane gas log in use. There is no pilot as it is an electric start. The problem is that the flue must be open at all times. I would like to have bifold glass doors that are air tight as possible. Bi-fold as the hearth is 20 inches wide and I do not want the glass door to extend beyond the hearth when the fireplace is in use with the doors open. Frame should be in a dark color and one that won't rust. I am open to suggestions

Our Comments: The doors featured below are the highest quality fireplace doors you can buy in the USA and are made to outlast the owner. Rust is not a factor as the brass is finished like fine jewelry and then coated with a baked on enamel that will last for many years, so there is no polishing necessary. The frame would be precision made to overlap the inner edge of your mantel within a 1 1/6" tolerance.

Choosing the Finish: Your magnificent Chandelier is the most predominant fixture in the room that the fireplace door needs to compliment. The weathered brass finish is a great choice if you wish to use the chandelier as the influence. Aged brass or Bronze Patina are also excellent choices that will blend well with the chandelier yet add a little variation in tone to compliment the mantel. It is not possible for us to create mockups in finishes like these, so we used Weathered Brass to create the mockups. Please refer to the finish pallet below to select your finish.

Hand Crafted Solid Brass Doors

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass. These doors are very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of Trims with Hand Crafted Patinas and Finishes. Weathered brass appears to be very close to your chandelier, so we have chosen that as our recommendation.

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.
