Replacement Glass Doors for Traditional Marble Fireplace with White Mantel Surround - Project #21230

Customer Comments: Hello. If I send a picture of my fireplace front can you remake it? Or will replacing it be the route to take.

Our Comments: This is a zero clearance wood burning fireplace with a gas log installed, which requires special doors to allow proper airflow and prevent the fireplace from overheating. You must burn your gas logs with the doors open to provide enough oxygen and reduce excess sooting and carbon monoxide. Doors made for zero clearance fireplaces will have larger gaps between the glass, and in some cases, there willl be 1/4" spacers on the back of the frame to allow additional airflow.

Fireplace Opening: 36 1/4" W x 22 1/8" H

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.

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.

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.
