Custom Glass Doors for Prefab Fireplace with Arched Stone Facing - Project #20794

Customer Comments: I have 2 identical arched fireplaces that have pull screens originally installed. I am looking for simple glass doors like the #1 flat steel above. #10 and #11 Legends might be a consideration as well.

Our Comments: As I mentioned in my email, some of those doors will not work on your zero clearance fireplace. Below are a couple examples of similar doors that will.

Fireplace Opening: 42 1/2" W x 25 3/4" H (Center) x 21 3/4" H (Sides)

These doors are heavy duty, laser cut from 3/16" thick solid steel. These doors are very easy to install using pressure screws, so there is no drilling required. Although shown as bifold doors with 4 glass panes, they can also be made as cabinet doors with two panes.

Template Instructions:

1. Tape a piece of heavy plastic sheeting to the fireplace.
2. Make sure the bottom edge is perfectly straight and even with the hearth.
3. Make sure it is taped tightly enough to remove any wrinkles.
4. Trace the shape of the opening with a fine tip marker including the mortar joints.
5. If you make a mistake, make a note and point to the correct part of the line that is to be used.
6. Measure the bottom width, top width, left height, center height and right height and mark them on the template.
7. Mark the template as shown with “Outside Looking In, Fireplace Treatments, Customer: (Your Name).
8. Email me a picture of the template and leave it in place so I can see how it was made and approve it.
9. Once I approve it, you can take it down, cut off the tape and mail it to the address that I provide.

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.
