Glass Doors for Large Brick Fireplace - Project #20497

Customer Comments: No Comments

Our Comments: Here are some glass doors that can be made to fit your large brick fireplace. I cannot make out what that is at the top center of the fireplace. I will need a closeup picture of it in order to determine if it is in the way of the glass doors. If it is in the way, we may need to make the door frame fit inside the opening as shown in Option #1. All of the doors can be made to fit inside, but overlapping the opening is an easier install.

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: 46 1/4" W x 26" H

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.
