Black Glass Doors for Child Protection fom Fireplace - Project #10887

Customer Comments: Hi! I have had trouble finding fireplace doors to fit our fireplace in the home we moved into a little over a year ago. It appears to not be a standard size for ones that can be purchased at most stores online. The opening is 24 3/4" H x 42" W. We are not looking to spend too much on this project. Just something practical to help keep our young kids from playing in the fireplace. We were thinking black most likely. Thank you!

Our Comments: Here are some great looking black fireplace doors in price ranges from low to high. The Aluminum doors will be the least expensive. All of these doors would be custom made to fit your fireplace.

Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 24 3/4" 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.

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.
