Glass Doors for Lennox EST-48 Zero Clearance Fireplace In The Wall - Project #20688

Customer Comments: Am looking to add fireplace doors to our in the wall fireplace - it is an lennox estate 48. I understand that we will need to rework the framing and the tile to make this work, but we can do so easily.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of doors that can be made to fit your fireplace without the need to modify the wall or tile. They can be made slightly smaller than the width between the walls and you can fill the gap with grout. The fist two options do not have a bottom draft, so you will have less control over combustion air when burning fires with the doors closed. The last two options are the most desireable if you wish to burn fires with the doors 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.

Fireplace Opening: ~ 48" W x 28" H

Before

Before:

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum doors are the most affordable and are designed to fit just inside the black metal opening. These do not have a draft assembly, so there is no mechanism for adjusting combustion air when the doors are closed. Not available with ceramic glass.

Stiletto

Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered Glass (only). No Draft Assembly.

Medium to High-End Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut. There is no draft mechanism, but the doors can be made with tempered or ceramic glass.

Flat Steel

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.
