Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20172

Customer Comments: Needing to figure out what type of fireplace door options are applicable with our configuration.

Our Comments: The door frame needs to be made to fit inside the narrowest stones. The gaps between the frame and stones will need to be filled with mortar. I have done many installations like this and can walk you through it if you wish to do it yourself.

Burning with Doors Closed: Not all glass doors can be burned with the doors closed. Doors with tempered glass that are allowed to be burned closed can handle constant temperatures of about 500F and should have at least 8" from the glass to the fire to prevent breakage. Doors with Pyro Ceramic glass can handle temps around 1200F and can have the fire withing 3" of the glass. Ceramic glass is very expensive, so you may consider buying those doors with tempered glass and burning with the doors open. Doors that must be burned open can be closed when starting a fire and when the fire is dying out, but not when it is burning strong.
