Glass Doors for See-Through Arched Stone Fireplace - Project #20756

Customer Comments: I have a 2 sided fireplace that is currently open on both sides. The draw is terrible and it's been recommended that I get doors. One side faces the dining room and one side faces the living room. The entire home is currently being remodeled, so photos of decor aren't available, however, we are trying to achieve a clean, transitional aesthetic and tone down the gothic nature of this large stone fireplace wall. I'd like to know what's possible! Thank you!

Our Comments: Here are several doors of different styles that can be made to help resolve the smoke problem. Each of these can be made with gasketed door frames and either tempered or ceramic glass. If you wish to burn fires with one side open and the other side closed, you must have ceramic glass.

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.

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.
