Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20673

Customer Comments: We're looking to replace our fireplace doors and mesh curtain, both of which are old and falling apart. Don't like brass - probably black will work better with our coffee tables, but really not sure. Would be great if we could install it ourselves but I know with uneven stone front it can be tricky and we're only semi-handy.

Our Comments: I have created mockups showing glass doors in black that can be made to fit your fireplace in a variety of materials and price ranges. Each of the doors below are very easy to install. Some of them can be made with pressure screws that require no drilling, just set the door in place and tighten some screws. I have indicated which models have this feature. Those without pressure screws require drilling 4 holes in the firebricks inside the fireplace and bolding down some brackets (still relatively easy). If you are burning real wood, it is good to have ceramic glass so you can burn fires with the doors open or 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.
