Stainless Steel Doors for Outdoor See Through Fireplace - Project #20351

Customer Comments: See thru fireplace- one or two doors? Stainless outdoor inside hearth is 36 wide x 32.75 wide rock is 4" from front of hearth - prefab kit firebox

Our Comments: Stainless steel doors for outdoor fireplaces can be made with ceramic glass as a single non-operational glass plate, framed cabinet doors, or framed bifold doors. These are all very expensive options, so we have included a less expensive aluminum alternative that is not necessarily designed for use outdoors, but will hold up better than normal steel.

The ultimate solution is to have bifold or cabinet doors on both sides so you can burn fires with both doors open, both doors closed on one side open and the other side closed. This cannot be done with tempered glass doors.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 32 3/4" 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.
