Framed Cabinet Glass Doors for Large Traditional Fireplace - Project #20686

Customer Comments: Greg, Thank you for your patience on this. Attached you will find: A photo of the actual fireplace, opening dimensions and design style precedent image. We are hoping you can share a product that you carry that looks similar to what we're showing here.

Here are our requirements:

1. Glass doors
2. Black metal frame and completely framed doors
3. Lower minimal vent
4. Sliding interior spark screen

Could you please provide price and an actual product image and description please. Also lead time would be great.

Our Comments: Due to the size of your firelace, some manufacturers will not make cabinet glass doors this large. For those that do, it is highly recommended you have ceramic glass as tempered glass is likely to shatter if you close the doors while the fire is burning in this size. Although the first door is not available as a framed cabinet door, I included it for comparison because in case the others are beyond your budget.

Cabinet -vs- Bifold: Be aware that cabinet doors this large will swing out about 24", whereas bifold doors fold back and only swing out 12".

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: 48" W x 35" H

Before:

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. These cannot be made with framed cabinet doors in a size this large, so I am showing a fullview bifold door instead.

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.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
