Glass Doors for Prefab Fireplace with Cast Stone Mantel Surround - Project #20582

Customer Comments: Interested in getting some nice looking fireplace doors. I'm terrible at making up my mind on things, but I think I want something with a thin frame such as the Stiletto. The inner dimensions of the insert are 36" x 20.25". The front edge of the insert to the front face of the masonry is 1 1/8"

Our Comments: Glass doors for prefabe fireplaces like yours require special doors designed to allow proper airflow into the firepace to prevent it from overheating. There are basically 2 types of doors for this application: Doors that fit inside the metal opening and doors that overlap the mantel opening. I have created mockups of both types. All of these should be burned with the glass open and will include gate mesh backup doors for spark protection.

Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 20 1/4" 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.

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.
