Custom Doors for Large Stone 2-Sided L-Shaped Fireplace - Project #20641

Customer Comments: the corner is not 90 degrees. it is approx 110 degrees I included a picture of a sketch showing the dimensions of the existing doors.

Answers to Questions:

1: Do you want to be able to burn fires with the glass doors closed? Yes.
2: Is there a post in the corner behind the existing glass doors? Yes.
3: Do you have a particular style or finish you prefer? Bronze.
4: Do you want mesh curtains or gate mesh backup doors behind the glass for spark protection when you have the doors open? No.

Our Comments: Below are several doors that can be made in bronze to fit your corner fireplace. The aluminum doors cannot be made with ceramic glass, so you must be careful not to burn fires to hot with the doors 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.

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.
