Glass Door for Heat Circulating Prefab Fireplace with Stacked Stone - Project #10330

Customer Comments: I was interested in seeing how my fireplace (which I am in process of redoing) would look with new doors (IE ZC Legend Deluxe and ZC Brookfield Deluxe).. and what the cost would be.

Our Comments: This is just a preliminary concept for a door that will cover the entire fireplace face including the upper and lower grills. It appears that there is a damper lever in the upper right and an on/off switch for a blower at the bottom right. The frame of the door will need to be made to allow access to these, which cannot be done with the Brookfield door. So we have created an example of the Legend ZC Deluxe. We will need more detailed pictures showing the damper lever and the fan switch to determine if this door is feasible. We chose to show each example with black glass because it was the only way to cover up the brass doors in the photo. Also, although we can have this door made in satin nickel, it is not recommended for a door with a frame this large due to potential inconsistencies in the finish, so we have not attempted to create a mockup of that finish.

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.
