Glass Doors in Black for Traditional Prefab Fireplace Tile Face and White Mantel - Project #21047

Customer Comments: Looking to get doors that will keep our little one away from the pilot light and loose bits of "ash" under the gas logs. My wife knows she wants black and bi-fold. I'm not sure we have more requirements than that yet. We started on a few websites that were estimating $500 for the set. I recognize your custom product will likely be more than that, which is ok, but let's stick to your more affordable lines.

Our Comments: Below are examples of glass doors that fit inside the opening and models that overlap the entire black metal face and are attached with magnets. My recommendation is the Modern-1 since it allows you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed.

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.

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.
