Glass Doors for Small Two Sided Fireplace - Project #11232

Customer Comments: Below is a picture of some of the decor. Fixtures has black and some brass accents. The measurements are 25"w x 29"h. I'm thinking black doors would be best but up to suggestions.

Our Comments: Looks like some form of black is the best choice, whether it be flat black, textured black or antqiue black. Because the fireplace is very narrow, we have included some choices with wider frames designed to overlap the top slightly and overlap the sides a lot more to bring the fireplace into a better proportion. The steel doors can be made with custom width frames to accomplish this.

Fireplace Opening: 25" W x 29" H

Affordable 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.
