Glass Doors ZC Heat Circulating Prefab Fireplace - Project #20020

Customer Comments: I have attached all the pictures I believe would be needed. I want a flat Black matte finish new fireplace to fit the existing brick opening. Glass doors only , no screen mesh. 46" width total outside to outside. 33 1/8" height total outside to outside. There is a brick ledge at the button of the fireplace metal door frame.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of doors with louvers that can be made to overlap the bricks with your zero clearance heat circulating fireplace. The louvers are always open to prevent the fireplace from overheating. The glass doors must be open with the fire is burning. This is particularly important when used with ventless gas logs.

Fireplace Opening: 46" W x 33 1/8" 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.
