Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20537

Customer Comments: Need glass doors to hide inside of fireplace and burn with doors closed. Fireplace is out of square by about 1/2".

Our Comments: All of the doors below are made with gray glass to help hide the inside of the fireplace and can be burned with the doors closed, providing you are not building large fires and the flames stay 8" from the glass. If you wish to build larger fires and don't want to worry about breaking the glass, we recommend using ceramic glass. Because ceramic glass only comes in a clear color, you can paint the inside of the fireplace black with high temperature stove paint.

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: 34" W x 35" H with 1/2" Variance

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.
