Screens and Doors for Large Outdoor Fireplace - Project #20593

Customer Comments: Outdoor fireplace screen needed in south Texas - harsh conditions.

Our Comments: The examples below represent a variety of screens and doors that can be made to withstand the elements. Glass doors with ceramic glass are the ultimate option as they allow you to close the doors and keep the fire going when it gets windy with out smoke and ashes blowing around.

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: 42 1/2" W x 23 3/4" H

Attached Outdoor Fireplace Doors

Doors that are attached to the fireplace are the most convenient since they can be openend and closed without having to move them aside. Some of the doors can be made with glass, wire mesh or both. Glass doors with ceramic glass are great for outdoors as you can close the doors while the fire is burning. This is particularly helpful when it gets windy or you simply wish to leave the area unatended during a fire. Zinc Coated Wrought iron doors are extremely heavy duty and rugged.

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.
