Detachable Frame Fireplace Doors for Irregular Stone Fireplace - Project #21113

Customer Comments: I would like a custom glass door but the frame would need to be assembled in place, I am a skilled home builder. In lieu of a glass door I would obtain a curtain system. However, I am concerned about it warping. The opening is about 45" x 30"

Our Comments: We have what is called a detachable frame, which is exactly what you are asking for. I have created a few mockups showing how doors with this type of frame will look on your fireplace, along with some details on the frame itself. These can be made with tempered or ceramic glass.

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: 45" W x 30" H

High End Detachable Frame Wrought Iron Doors

These wrought iron doors can be made with a detachable frame that is assembled inside the fireplace behind the stone. 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 large fireplaces because of their heavy duty solid frame and hinges, and commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring hot fires with the doors closed.

Detachable Frame

The detachable frame is available for our Hand Crafted wrought iron doors and allows you to piece the frame together inside the fireplace behind the facing. This is particularly useful for rock or ledger stone fireplaces where the stones are irregular. These can be made with offset hinges (as shown) that allow the doors to swing out in front of the stones. This is available with the Hand Crafted wrought iron doors only.

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.
