Glass Doors with Ceramic Glass for See Through Fireplace (Den Side) - Project #20652

Den Fireplace Project #20652 | Kitchen Firepace Project #20653

Customer Comments: Pass through fireplace door. The den side is fairly straight forward, but the kitchen side has a curved outer face, but recessed square face. We would probably keep the kitchen side closed to try and reduce some smokiness we get through the house, but keep the visual appeal.

Our Comments: Here are some mockups showing various materials and ways to overcome the protruding bricks at the bottom of the firelace floor. Subsequent to our phone conversation, I also added the concept of making a riser bar to cover the bricks and setting the door on top. This eliminates the need to make the frame 1" deep.

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: 35" W x 29 5/8" H x 3 1/8" (raised from floor)

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.
