Glass Doors for Traditional Fireplace - Project #11330

Customer Comments: Hello, I recently bought an older home (built 1985) that has a fireplace with no doors. It's definitely a drain on our energy bills. I've been looking into getting doors installed, but I've been told to be very careful before buying and to find an expert. I'm not sure what kind of fireplace I have either, but I'm hoping you can tell by the attached pictures. I'm also not sure on style so would be open to suggestions (picture of room also included).

Our Comments: You most certainly have a masonry fireplace. Most of the doors on our site can be made to work with your fireplace. We have chosen models in low to high end price ranges that we believe to be ideal choices. Hope this helps.

Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 28 1/2" 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.

Medium Range 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.

MET

Option #3: Design Specialties MET Twin Fireplace Glass Door with Flat Black Hidden Frame and Satin Nickel Plated Doors. This door has no visible handles. The door frames stand out about 1" from the fireplace, which allows room to get your fingers in behind them to open the doors.

High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.

Sliding Door

Option #4: Stone Manufacturing SD-51 Sliding Fireplace Door with #51 Greek Key Casting Trim in Satin Nickel. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. This will compliment your rug, but is a timeless pattern should you ever decide to change the rug.

Frameless Door

Option #5: Stone Manufacturing DF1G-52 Solid Brass Bifold Door with Half Oval Casting Trim in Satin Nickel. Shown with clear beveled glass.

Minimal-1

Option #6: Stone Manufacturing Minimal-1 Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel. This door has an angle iron on the top and bottom with no frame on the sides. It also uses 3/8" thick glass for added elegance.
