Glass Doors for Small 36 x 22 Zero Clearance Prefab Fireplace with Gas Logs - Project #21013

Customer Comments: We want to replace our old doors with new glass doors. We are changing the wood fireplace to gas log fireplace set.

Our Comments: Below are doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. Several of these can be made with a special AirWash system that allows you to burn gas logs with the doors closed (read note below). You should be able to keep your existing mesh curtains, but if they are in poor shape, we can add gate mesh backup doors behind the glass. I recommend painting the inside of the fireplace with high temperature black paint, which will make the gas logs really stand out. I also included some gas logs to consider, if you have not yet purchased them.

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. Doors featuring the special Gas Log AirWash System are an exception to this rule allowing vented gas logs to be burned with the doors closed. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances.

*Closeout Specials: These items were purchased from Stone Manufacturing just before they went out of business and are being sold at or below half price while supplies last. See More: Fireplace Accessory Closeout Specials!

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is 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.

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.

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.

No Mesh

Gate Mesh Backup Doors

Mesh Curtains

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.
