Grand Canyon Lava Series Gas Logs with Glass Doors for Traditional Brick Fireplace - Project #20897

Customer Comments: Grand Canyon Glowfire and inside mount doors.

Our Comments: Here's how the Grand Canyon GlowFire Lava Series gas logs will look with glass doors on your fireplace. Keep in mind the doors must be open when burning the gas logs unless you order the Modern-1 glass doors, which can be closed. I cannot create the mockups showing the doors open. Also, I do not recommend an inside fitting door on a brick fireplace as there will be gaps between the frame and the bricks, especially at the mortar joints. An overlap fitting door is best, but I am showing options both ways.

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.

Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented 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 you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.

Fireplace Opening: 34 1/16" W (Top) x 34" W (Bottom) x 33 1/4" H (Left) x 33 1/2" H (Right) x 22 1/2" D x 26" W (Back)

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.

Gas Log AirWash System

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.

Modern-1

Option #3: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Black with Clear Glass and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door. Features AirWash System for Buring Gas Fires with Doors Closed.

Modern-1

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.

Grand Canyon Gas Logs

Lava

Shown Above: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Lava Gas Logs with GloFire Technology. These are the only logs on the market with burners cast inside the logs so flames come directly out of the logs themselves. They are by far the most realistic gas logs on the market, but also one of the most expensive.

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.
