Glass Doors for Red Brick Heatilator Fireplace - Project #11428

Customer Comments: Our fireplace does not have a real screen cover, the one we have is just a stand alone and does not completely cover width of fireplace opening. Dimensions of the opening are: 41-1/2" (W) and 28-1/2" (H); it is a true Heatalator Fireplace installed in 1975 (we were told this by the contractor we hired to clean out the flue, recap the top of the chimney and inspect and paint the firebox 5+ years ago). We want doors that completely cover the opening (our flue is slightly rusted "open"/will not completely close, so insects/flies from our horse farm come in when fireplace is not in use). Our home is rustic with silver on light fixtures and fans, we prefer the black accessories and trim for our fireplace. We want glass doors with mesh screens behind. Please provide recommendations/suggestions and pricing

Our Comments: Here are some mockups that should be helpful. We have included some NEW doors that are Horse related that also might interest you. Hope this helps.

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.
