Cabinet Glass Doors for Large 48" Fireplace - Project #20545

Customer Comments: I am looking for glass doors with a metal frame. semi contemporary-the home is transitional, combination of contemporary (large 17' windows overlooking water, but crown molding and other non contemporary details. Pic with my back to fireplace is home still under construction...but it will have a large dark blue sectional with white Serena and Lily coffee and end tables. white oak wide plank wood floors, open to a large white kitchen w 2 10' long islands. Entire area is 17' high ceilings, all will be painted SW Greek Villa (white) w SW Pure White trim. Desire 2 panes of glass only (not folding) that open cabinet style. not detailing, just a 3" ish metal frame. Will be adding 6" white oak floating mantle and 2" H white oak shelves on either side where you see large openings Fireplace opening: 48"x28"

Our Comments: Here are a variety of glass doors that will compliment your fireplace and transitional decor. Keep in mind the doors will be about 24" wide each when opened. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, you will need ceramic glass with cabinet doors this large. All of the doors below can be made with tempered or ceramic glass except for the roller doors, which will have 4 tempered glass panes.

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: 48" W x 28" 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.

Subsequent Mockups

These are the newest mockups that have been refined on our previous communications. The Bungalow cannot be made as a cabinet door in your size, so I included it with bifold doors. Fitting the door inside the opening will shrink the view of the fireplace. I recommend the first two options that overlap.

Broadway

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.
