Corner Fireplace Doors with Ceramic Glass for Floor to Ceiling Slate L-Shaped Fireplace - Project #20616

Customer Comments: ~40? year old two-sided brick fireplace with stone veneer around fireplace from hearth to ceiling. It is gorgeous but horribly inefficient. We cannot find a standard insert in the US that doesn't significantly compromise the aesthetic appeal. We would like to install an enclosure featuring minimal framing and maximum glass, ideally with access doors on front and side. We would also like to put ceramic panels on the back and closed side, for better thermal retention and burn efficiency.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of corner fireplace doors that can be made with ceramic glass to fit your fireplace in a variety of materials and price ranges including: Aluminum, Steel and Wrought Iron. I included measuring instructions as well. All options can have cabinet or bifold doors on the front and a single or cabinet doors on the side (or a fixed panel).

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.

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. Aluminum doors are the only option that can be made with a frameless glass to glass corner. There are fewer design options with aluminum since the frames are made from extrusions rather than hand crafted.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors and can be made with gasket sealed door frames. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut. Steel doors can only be made with a framed corner. Steel doors are a better choice if you plan on burning fires with the doors closed due to the heavier duty construction and gasket sealed doors.

Flat Steel

High End Hand Crafted Wrought Iron/Steel Doors

Wrought Iron doors are hand crafted by a skilled blacksmith with the most heavy duty construction to handle the abuse of hot fires. They have a rugged natural look for those who appreciate hand crafted pieces with the intentional imperfections and textures created by the hammer of the blacksmith. When ordered with ceramic glass and gasketed doors, these are the best of the best for those who love building fires and want something that can handle the abuse.

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.
