Glass Doors for Small 1920s Bedroom Fireplace - Project #11602

Customer Comments: Dear Hansen Team, I am looking to buy a glass door for my fireplace. The main purpose of the door is to keep the cold air from coming into our bedroom in the winter. We never light the fireplace. We live in Minnesota in a 1920s house. I would like to get ideas on what I could get from you guys for my fireplace. The size of the opening is: 24 inches wide by 27 inches in height. (It might had been an old coal fireplace in the original house). I attach the 3 pictures for the mock-up. Thank you.

Our Comments: Here are a few ideas in a broad range of materials and prices.

Fireplace Opening: 24" W x 27" 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.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

Legend

Option #3A: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Cabinet Glass Door in Satin Nickel Plated Steel.

Legend

Option #3B: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Single Glass Door with 1 1/2" Side and Bottom Frame and 3 1/2" Top Frame. Made to overlap tile 1/2" on top and sides with 1/2" raised fireplace floor. This door is designed to work around the damper and will provide the tightest seal. The damper may be difficult to open and close.

Slim Moderne

Option #4A: Design Specialties MET Single Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door may not work because of the location of the damper.

High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.

Casting

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.
