Glass Doors for Fireplace with Traditional White Mantel Surround - Project #20496

Customer Comments: I'm interested in new glass doors. I will be burning real wood, no gas logs. I want to burn fires with the glass doors closed. I might want to replace the tiles surrounding the fireplace and the hearth. I don't want to replace the mantle.

Our Comments: What I recommend will vary based on what you do with the tile. Currently, the antique brass door clashes with the black hearth and red tiles. I would recommend a black frame to complement the hearth and reduce the amount of colors. The frames can be made wide enough to completely cover the red tiles. Replacing the tile whithout destroying the mantel may prove to be a challenge and will require some special expertise.

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.

Fireplace Opening: 36 1/2" W x 31" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also 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.
