Fireplace Doors for Old Prefab Fireplace - Project #21342

Customer Comments: I have a 22 year old prefab fireplace with a broken screen and frame. The company no longer makes this model. Wondering if this is something you do. Thank you.

Our Comments: We can simply replace the mesh curtains, or dress up the fireplace with glass door or mesh door. The doors are shown with the existing slotted frame removed. The glass doors have the benefit of reducing heat loss by closing them as the fire is dying out and keeping them closed year-around.

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.
