Glass Doors for Prefab Fireplace with Vents - Project #11397

Customer Comments: My goal is to hopefully save money from buying a new wood burning fireplace. I am looking for a simple two panel or four panel door that forms to my fireplace and functions. Matching to an exact style is the least of my interests. At the minimum, doors with a grey frame may very well be perfect. Just something to allow me to use my wood burning fireplace and protect my home.

Our Comments: There are several ways to treat your fireplace. In any case, the doors must be designed properly to allow air to flow into the metal fireplace to prevent it from overheating. In some cases you MUST burn the fire with the doors open, while others can be closed. In all cases, you can close the doors temporarily to help start the fire quickly, open the doors when the fire gets going and the close the doors as the fire is dying out to keep the warm air inside your home. Please read the comments about each type of door below.

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.
