Mesh Doors for Isokern Fireplace with Stone Face - Project #20936

Customer Comments: Isokern Fireplace in our main living area Looking for a door that can update and frame fireplace. Maybe metal - Black. Open to your ideas. Looks like we need mesh because this is an Isokern so if we have glass it seems we would need to leave the doors open? With mesh the screen could stay closed - correct? What is your opion??

Our Comments: With gas logs, you must burn gas fires with glass doors open. Also, Isokern fireplaces require special glass doors that should be installed before the stone facing is applied. Although there are workarounds for that, I would recommend mesh doors for this application. I also recommend a bronze or black copper finish instead of black. I have shown examples of each.

Side Note: I noticed the gas logs are off center to the right. Looks like the gas line coming in on the left is too long. I recommend having a plumber come and cut it shorter so you can center the gas logs. I am showing the mockups with the logs centered.

Fireplace Opening: 40" W x 31" H

Affordable Formed Steel Doors

These doors are made from heavy gauge steel sheet metal formed to make the frame. They are lighter weight and the most affordable.

High End Hand Forged Wrought Iron Doors

Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron with heavy duty gasketed doors for a tighter seal and maximum draft reduction. 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 commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring hot fires with the doors closed.

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.
