Customer Comments: I need a glass door for my fire place. Opening is 38 3/4”W and 23 3/4”H. I need to place it inside flush to the wall.
Our Comments: Below are examples of some doors that can be made to fit inside the stone opening of your zero clearance fireplace. Although these are pictured with the doors closed, it is important to know that you must have the doors open when burning gas logs unless you buy doors with the special Gas Log AirWash system. Please read the note below:
Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows enough air into the fireplace to reduce overheating. Read more below.
Fireplace Opening: 38 3/4" W x 23 3/4" H
Before:
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 Envision Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Light Bronze. Doors must be open when burning gas logs.
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 #2: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Cabinet Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Black. Includes Gas Log AirWash System for Buring Gas 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 forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron, these are the most heavy duty glass doors. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. The forging process produces a unique texture that you cannot get with laser cut steel and there are added hammered textures that can be for a more rustic applications. These doors are often used for extremely large fireplaces because of their heavy duty solid frame and hinges. They are the most commonly ordered doors with ceramic glass for those who wish to build fires with the doors closed.
Option #3: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door Burnished Black. Doors must be open when burning gas logs.
Option #4: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Cabinet Fireplace Door with Scroll Detail in Distressed Medium Bronze. Doors must be open when burning gas logs.
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.
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.
