Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20296

Customer Comments: Remodeling home and renovating gas fireplace to gas starting wood fireplace. Inspector states that I need a glass door. Approx 32X 32. Please advise.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of glass doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. Some are shown fitting inside the opening with mortar added to fill the gap between the frame and the stones. Those fitting on the outside must have wider frames to hide the irregularities and will not seal as well, but look very nice. Doors with optional Ceramic Glass can be burned with the doors closed if you are using real wood. All doors must be open when burning gas logs in order to prevent the components from overheating.

Fireplace Opening: 32" W x 32" 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.

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.

No Mesh

Gate Mesh Backup Doors

Mesh Curtains

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.
