Customer Comments: I’ve converted my wood burning fireplace to gas logs. It measures 25” wide x 23” high. I would like to know if glass doors can be made for this opening.
Our Comments: Here are some glass doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. All of them must burned with the doors open except for the Modern-1 door that has a special Gas Log Airwash System allowing you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed.
Fireplace Opening: 25" W x 23" H
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.
Option #1: PW Breckenridge Aluminum Cabinet Fireplace Door in Black with Single Gate Mesh Backup Door.
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.
Glass doors normally must be open when burning a gas log in order to prevent the pilot mechanism from overheating. These doors have a special Gas Log AirWash system that feeds enough cooling air into the fireplace minimize overheating and allow you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Satin Nickel with Tempered Glass. Available with Optional AirWash System for Buring Fires with Doors Closed.
Modern-1 Frame: The Modern-1 has a unique design that allows it to be made without handles. The left photo shows the Modern-1 in Satin Nickel with a hidden back frame. The middle is a side view showing how the doors stand out about 1" from the back frame. The right photo shows a wide back frame (not hidden) with slots for the optional AirWash system that allows air to flow freely into the fireplace so you can burn fires with the doors closed. Keep in mind, these slots are always open, so they are less tightly sealed than other doors.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details. These doors are the most heavy duty made from 3/16" and 1/4" thick solid hand forged wrought iron.
Option #4: Hand Crafted Pacifico Wrought Iron Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Wide Frame and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Pacifico Wrought Iron Fireplace Door in Burnished Dark Matte Bronze with Custom Surround Trim and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door.
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.
