Custom Glass Doors for a Superior TM-4500 Zero Clearance Fireplace - Project #20627

Customer Comments: Superior Fireplace TM-4500 Width 45 1/4" Height 29" Not 100% on these measurements as I'm not sure exactly where I should measure for overlap vs. inside fit on a zero clearance door mount.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of doors that can be custom made to fit inside or overlap this Superior zero clearance fireplace. The overlap fitting doors will provide a cleaner, more finished look. I have included a measuring diagram as well. If the mesh curtains are less than 1/2" back from the black metal opening, they will need to be removed and replaced with gate mesh backup doors.

Fireplace Opening: 45 1/2" W x 29" 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.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

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.
