Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20654

Customer Comments: fireplace open on both sides with a ventless gas insert. We need doors on the kitchen side. Will we need to get ceramic glass if we do that with it open on the dining room side? The model of our gas insert is: Robert H. Peterson Co RealFyre G9-2 unvented gas log set. G9-2-24-12(M). I am very interested in seeing what you recommend for the kitchen side and maybe a screen on the dining room side as well.

Our Comments: As we discussed over the phone, if you add glass doors to a fireplace with ventless gas logs, you must burn the logs with the doors open. Here are some options for mesh screens that will work. You can use these screens for either side of the fireplace. The single mesh doors give you the best view of the fire.

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.

No Mesh

Gate Mesh Backup Doors

Mesh Curtains

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.
