Custom Glass Doors for 50 Inch Majestic Ashland Fireplace - Project #20460

Customer Comments: Looking for a door and trim for a new install of a Majestic Ashland 50 wood burning fireplace. Can you advise? I'm not certain what look I'm interested in- looking for options. The wall surface surrounding the unit is real stone thin veneer (see pic of exterior - same stone. I'm not looking for anything too ornate but I'm open to ideas. The architecture for this custom home is quasi modern. See attached pic. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks Greg.

Our Comments: Here are some initial concepts to help you decide which direction to go in. The Pocket doors are quite unique and an option often overlooked as most people do not know they exist. I think they are perfect for this application.

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 temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 50" W x 38" 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.
