Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I have a corner fireplace in my master bedroom that I'm finally deciding to put some glass doors on. We’ve lived in this house for 25 years so I guess it's finally time. We use it every night when it's cold here in so cal. I have gas logs so it’s easy and pretty clean but it does get chilly once it's off. I really like Treatment #20266...seems perfect.
Our Comments: Due to the way the tile has been added around your fireplace, the doors that will work are very limited. We need doors that will overlap the tile rather than fit inside. These can be made from alluminum or steel as shown below.
Fireplace Opening: 35 1/2" W (Front) x 19" W (Side) x 23 1/2" H
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.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Profile-4 Aluminum Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black with Clear Glass.
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.
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.
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.
