Glass Doors for See Through Fireplace Raised In The Wall - Project #20570

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, we want something simple in black. We don't need anything fancy. We really just want something clean and simple and would like to keep the cost down. It was nice talking to you too. Look forward to seeing some of your ideas.

Our Comments: Below is a range of fireplace doors from low end to high end. Some of these use pressure screws that do not require any drilling as we discussed over the phone. Also, if you plan on burning your gas logs with the glass doors closed, you should have doors with ceramic glass, or a gas log airwash system.

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: 30" W x 22" 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.
