Glass Doors for Heat Circulating Zero Clearance Fireplace with Louvers - Project #20946

Customer Comments: Remodeling and want to make this fireplace look nicer. I believe it's a gas log set inside of an old wood burnin fireplace. I'd like to cover up the face but leave the vents open top and bottom in case that's necessary, as well as replace the doors (not sure if you do that) - Going for a modern minimal aesthetic, planning to put a white oak mantel on top and black tile hearth in front. The doors are about 36" wide. House is stripped currently.

Our Comments: Heat circulating prefab fireplaces like yours can have doors made with built-in louvers that cover the entire front. These are easily attached with heavy duty rare-earth magnets, so they just snap in place. Option #3 is the only model that will allow you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed, so it is the one I recommend the most. There are additional louver options to choose from on this page: Fireplace Doors with Vents

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.

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.
