Replacement Glass Doors for Full Arched Brick Fireplace - Project #21224

Customer Comments: Need to replace screen and doors

Our Comments: Here are some popular choices for screens and doors that can be made to fit your full arched fireplace. I used a fireplace similar to yours to create these mockups so you can see how they will look. A template will be required to make the doors. I included detailed instructions for making the template.

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.

Free Standing Screen with Doors

This is a free standing screen with wire mesh doors (no glass). I have included this option as a less expensive alternative if the glass doors are too expensive.

Full Arch

Option #1: Hearth Creations Free Standing Screen with Doors (no glass) in Black with Polished Brass Handles.

Medium to High-End Steel Doors

Steel doors are medium to heavy made from 3/16" to 1/4" laser cut steel. The heavy duty models can be made with tempered or ceramic glass.

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. 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 most commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring fires with the doors closed.

Single Panel Screens

Single panel free standing screens will be the least expensive option. If glass doors are beyond the budget, rhese are an affordable option that provide excellent spark protection with a full view of the fire. The downside is, they are less convenient as you must set the screen aside on the floor whenver you tend the fire.

Option #7: Hearth Creations Steel Single Panel Full Arch Fireplace Screen in Black. Shown with Grand Canyon Lava Series Gas Logs with GloFire Technology. These are the only logs on the market with burners cast inside the logs so flames come directly out of the logs themselves. They are by far the most realistic gas logs on the market, but also one of the most expensive.

Template Instructions:

1. Tape a piece of heavy plastic sheeting to the fireplace.
2. Make sure the bottom edge is perfectly straight and even with the hearth.
3. Make sure it is taped tightly enough to remove any wrinkles.
4. Trace the shape of the stones and mortar around the opening with a fine tip marker.
5. If you make a mistake, make a note and point to the correct part of the line that is to be used.
6. Mark the template as shown with: Fireplace Treatments, Customer: (Your Name), PO# (To Be Provided), Outside Looking In.
7. Email me a picture of the template and leave it in place so I can see how it was made and approve it.
8. Once I approve it, you can take it down, cut off the tape and mail it to the address that I will provide.

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.
