Glass Doors with Ceramic Glass for Two Sided See Through Stone Fireplace - Project #20730

Customer Comments: Reaching out after you commented on a recent Reddit post. I have a double sided fireplace that Iid like to either install doors on both sides, or find an insert that fits my opening. Unfortunately I cannot find an insert that fits, while also preserving the double sided view. So I am now considering ceramic glass doors on both sides. The measurement of the opening is: 36.25" wide and 24" height. Of note, the fireplace opening is set 2" below the hearth. (See last photo)

Our Comments: Below are a some doors in a variety of materials and finishes that can be made with ceramic glass to fit your fireplace. When purchased with ceramic glass, you can burn fires with both sides open, both sides closed, or just one side open. Due to the irregularity of the stone, I recommend making the doors fit inside the opening and filling the gap with mortar. You can read more about: How to Measure and Install Glass Doors on Rock Fireplaces Here.

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: 36 1/4" W x 24" H

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.
