Glass Doors for Fireplace Remodel - Project #20712

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, Thank you for your help on this project. Attached are the photos. I am happy to provide additional photos if need be. I will double check the measurements, but the opening is 19.5 inches high and 40.5 inches wide. As far as style, I think simpler is better. My wife mentioned still wanting to be able to see through, but possibly still having doors that open in the middle. I think something using tempered glass would be preferred. Let me know if you have any questions for me.

Our Comments: Here are some great choices for doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. I recommend adding mesh curtains behind the glass and leaving them open to help conceal the black metal on the sides.

Important Info About Gas Logs: The gas log manufacturers require you to burn the gas with the glass doors open to prevent the burner from overheating and melting the safety pilot components. The Modern-1 glass door is an exception to this rule if purchased with the Gas Log AirWash system that allows plenty of air into the fireplace when the doors are closed.

Fireplace Opening: 40 1/2" W x 19 1/2" H

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.

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.
