Replacement Glass Doors for Traditional Brick Fireplace - Project #21294

Customer Comments: Something simple with doors that adds too the room. Don't have measurements.

Our Comments: Here are some examples in a variety of materials and price ranges. You will need to consider if you want to burn fires with the doors closed, in which case you will need ceramic glass.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures around 450F without shattering and should be at least 8" from the flames. This is sufficient for closing the doors as the fire starts to die out to keep the heat in the home. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures around 1450F with direct flame contact. If you want the ability to burn continuous fires with the doors closed, you need ceramic glass.

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.

Brookfield

Option #1: Design Specialties Aluminum Brookfield Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered Glass and Mesh Curtains.

Medium to High-End Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

Flat Steel

Option #2: Elegant Steel Bifold Fireplace Door with Window Pane Design in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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. These doors are most commonly ordered with ceramic glass for burning fires with the doors closed.

Wrought Iron

Option #3: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Cabinet Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

Wrought Iron

Option #4: Hand Crafted Olde World Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door in Hammered Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.
