Glass Doors for Full Arch Fireplace - Project #11408

Customer Comments: Hello, We are looking to purchase a fireplace door that will fit our arched fireplace. We're a simple design. Something black in color with tinted glass is preferred. I saw a picture of something very close to what we are looking for in the "Stone Manufacturing" section of your arched fireplace door page. The model was titled "#142 - EC-DF Arched B". We like this style with a few modifications. We would want bi-fold doors (not on a track), we would want to omit the design inside of the doors so that it is just glass, and we would want a screen/curtain of some sort behind the glass covering the opening for safety while burning a fire. Fixed end panels are ok, if necessary. Tight fitting doors are also something we'd like to have, mainly to seal off fireplace/flue smells from coming back into the room a bit when not burning a fire. Looking forward to see what is possible!

Our Comments: The ED Arched door from Stone Manufacturing is an ideal choice, and the only door that can be made with piano hinges, which are unique in the industry. It is also the most expensive, so we included a similar door from Design Specialties that uses bullet hinges at half the price. For both doors, we added a little extra width to the frame at the bottom in order to allow the use of hinges without large fixed end panels. This will maximilze the viewing area.

Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 32" H (tallest)

Before

Before:

High End Piano Hinge Door

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans at Stone Manufacturing and feature high end solid brass latches and other brass components. In this case, they use a unique piano hinge that and allows the most minimal hinge area with maximum support of the doors.

Frameless Door

Option #1: Stone Manufacturing EC Piano Hinge Arched Fireplace Door with Folding Cabinet Doors (bifold w/center frame). Dark Graylite-14 Glass with Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Graylite-14 glass is about twice as dark as the gray glass used by Design Specialties.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Made by Design Specialties, this door requires a slightly wider frame at the base to support the bullet hings and the gray glass is lighter, but the price is about half that of the door from Stone Manufacturing.

Legend Arch

Option #2: Design Specialties Legend Arched Fireplace Glass Door with Folding Cabinet Doors, Standard Gray Tinted Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.
