Custom Fireplace Doors for Large Fireplace with Step Up - Project #20687

Customer Comments: I am looking for custom fireplace doors. We are builders in Los Angeles remodeling a home that was damaged in the recent LA fires. We're going to need a custom fireplace door, no installation is necessary. Attached is a picture of our fireplace, along with its measurements. We ideally would like the smallest frame possible. Originally, the homeowner was looking for the frameless solution but obviously that is not possible. Please quote me on what the smallest frame achievable would be and the lead time. I've also attached a sketch of what we're looking for but would be open to any recommendations you might have.

Mesh Curtains: If mesh curtains are desired behind the glass, I would have them fabricated by a different manufacturer than the door. The ones provided by the door manufacturers are insufficient in larger widths like this. They will sag and not open all the way. I will have the mesh mechanism fabricated by a different vendor with a special I-Beam track and roller system so they can open wider and easier.

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. If you want the door made with ceramic glass, I will need to have it made by a different company.

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.
