Custom Glass Doors for Zero Clerance Fireplace with Marble Tile Surround - Project #21006

Customer Comments: Pre-Fab Fireplace. Front Opening: 42” x 21-1/4” Depth: 15” (heat box) Heat Box: 25” x 15”. Want glass doors with blower.

Our Comments: As we discussed over the phone, you have a zero clearance prefabricated fireplaces and the blowers are for masonry fireplaces only. Here are some glass doors that I recommend. If you choose to burn fires with the doors closed, you must be careful to build small fires as prefab fireplaces like yours are not designed for large fires.

Mesh Options: You can keep your existing mesh curtains or remove it and have gate mesh backup doors behind the glass. I can also provide replacment mesh curtains if your existing curtains are warped or damaged.

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.

Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 21 1/4" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.
