Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20567

Customer Comments: My wife and I are interested in a fireplace door. We have a large gas fireplace with fire rocks. We're interested in a fireplace door that will prevent our young son from being able to access the rocks, but that will also not have to be removed to run the gas fire. Thanks.

Our Comments: We can do glass doors or mesh doors. Glass doors will provide excellent protection when the fire is off, but technically, should be open when the fire is burning. Mesh doors can be left close when the fire is burning, but will have some obstruction from the frame in the center unless we do a large single panel door.

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: 75" W x 21" H

Fixed End Panels

Bifold fireplace doors with fixed end panels have 6 panes of glass. The outer left and right panes are fixed, so they do not open. The inner 4 panes are bifold doors that open 180 degrees like an accordion and fold flat against the fixed panels on the ends. The image below shows the doors half way open.

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.
