Black Glass Doors for Brick Fireplace - Project #11381

Customer Comments: We had this fire going yesterday. Inside measurements 41 x 30 Lots of smoke in the beginning and end. Would glass doors reduce the smoke? We are looking for a way to achieve this without purchasing an expensive insert. Thank you for your help.

Our Comments: Glass doors can dramatically reduce the smoke issue. You can close the doors when starting the fire and open them once the fire is well established. You can then close the doors as the fire dies out. Those two times are when the fire is operating at a reduced draft and tends to smoke. Per our subsequent conversation, we have created several mockups of glass doors in flat black. We chose doors with wider frames to help cover most, or all of the soot discoloration around the opening.

Fireplace Opening: 41" W x 30" 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.
