Custom Glass Doors for Rumford Fireplace - Project #11353

Customer Comments: Our Rumford fireplace opening is 39" wide by 36 1/2" high. We are looking for something with black steel doors with tempered glass and black ember screen that can slide open/closed in behind doors on a rod. Thanks.

Our Comments: It appears that the stone is not too irregular to use an overlap fitting door. We recommend doors with at least a 2" wide frame for this application in order to best hide the gaps between the stone and the frame. All of these can also be made to fit inside the fireplace, which would require that the gaps be filled with mortar.

Fireplace Opening: 39" W x 36 1/2" H

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.
