Custom Glass Door for Large Arched Fireplace - Project #20618

Customer Comments: We are looking for custom doors. This unit is 55" wide x 48" tall.

Our Comments: We can have doors made from solid steel or wrought iron with tempered or ceramic glass. Because of the raised hearth benches, the frame will need to fit inside the opening and the gaps between the stone and the frame will need to be filled with mortar. A mortar flange will be provided to make the job easier.

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: 55" W x 48" H

Template Instructions

Template

Template #1: Place a level on the left side where it hits the stones at the bottom. Make it level and mark the cardboard so you can draw a level line on the left. Do the same on the right side leaving a gap about the same amount as the gap on the left. Draw the level lines on the cardboard and mark them "Level Line"

Template

Template #2: We will make the overall width of the door to fit between the level lines and leave a similar gap at the top. The gap will need to be filled with mortar as shown.

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.
