Custom Glass Doors for Tudor Style Fireplace with Gothic Arch - Project #21180

Customer Comments: Greg, We have a project in Collinsville Texas that is need of a fireplace glass door. Ideally, I would like to see as little metal frame around the doors as possible. Something like this with clear glass and a dark pewter powder coated finish (see example in Fig. #1 below). My concern is that we won't be able to fit glass doors to the primary bedroom surround because of the shape of the Tudor arch. Please let me know what you think is a good solution.

Our Comments: Low end aluminum doors like the ones in your example from Woodland Direct cannot be made for an arched fireplace. Instead, they must be custom fabricated either from steel, wrought iron, or solid brass. Steel is the least expensive material, which I am showing in the mockup below. I included some appropriate andirons that I am selling at half price, along with a very classy wrought iron grate to finish things off.

*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!

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.
