Glass Doors for Large Stone Fireplace - Project #20626

Customer Comments: Now is cabinet-thinking going clear view.Outside dimensions are 51" W X 34" H.Frame secured by a lag bolt on 3/4 upper left and right into expansion lugs.Below by brass screws that adjust into outer most part of firebox lower walls.In 3rd pic I cut to fit the stone a pc of copper and put black-haha- high heat caulk/ mason cement.It turned white and cracked all to hell from expan/ contraction.Want nothing fancy but with a large molding so smoke doesn't come out the top. Not sure what type of vent.

Our Comments: Although some of these doors are shown as framed cabinets, they can all be made a clearview cabinet or bifold. All but the first can be made with tempered or ceramic glass. The first is tempered only and is at the lowest price point. The most rugged and durable for burning with the doors closed will be the higher end wrought iron doors. All of the doors will come with insulation material that goes between the frame and the stones to help prevent smoke leakage. They all have a bottom vent that can be opened or closed to allow air into the fireplace when the doors are closed.

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: ~50" W x 34" 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.

Glass Options

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 sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
